I love horror movies.
This one lacks action and thrill so if you like slashers or aliens type , you won't find it here.
It also lacks gore and the jump scares are scarce.
About the plot ... Not really scary, more like a super natural detective case.
That said, the film has some good moments and it's very original on the visual aspect. It tries to creep you out. The horror is more subtle. Nicolas Cage does indeed a great performance.
I saw silence of the lambs and it's not like that. Honestly Annibal Lexter is much better vilan. I guess we didn't have enough time to understand LongLegs or let him install in our minds.
I can't recommend but I can't dismiss either. Maybe if you're new to horror you would like to start with this or Tarot that are kind of mild.
