On second viewing this movie doesn’t hold up AT ALL. The main character literally never figures anything out for herself and it’s slower than sin (pun intended), with a predictable ending.

Cage is unhinged in it, and it’s got some atmospheric vibe going for it, but that is all. Very bewildered that it’s doing as well as it is.
I don't think this one will hold up well, for sure, because a big part of the movie was waiting to see Longlegs, and once the car was out of the proverbial bag, the movie didn't have to many other intriguing scenes.

The movie was great at setting a mood but just okay at telling a story.

Great tone. Music was spot on. Story was just OK. I will tell you what though? Nicolos Cage was almost unrecognizable.

7/10 Liked the creepy vibe and Cage character. Maybe I am dumb, but wish it would have explained the "magic" a little more.
