You dirtsy flirtsy ol angel bitch.

I’ll DIE on the hill that this is one of the best horror movies ever made 

longlegs is so disgustingly beautiful and caputures that fear of having something that is not only buried deep in your memories but also haunts you to your deepest most hidden thoughts SO WELL.

The use of a wide lense is so perfect for longlegs, because there’s so much to see in one single scene or literally nothing at all. “I will be a little bit of everywhere” says longlegs, the beast of the sea, the antichrist, as he talks to Lee harker. Coming back to the cinematography, this is so fitting because the devil IS everywhere and we see a lot of references throughout the movie; for instance the appearance of shadows behind lee or whispering. Not packed into loud jumpscares, but rather into a picture of what is or isn’t. Evil is everywhere, and you can’t escape it. In addition to that, loud scenes or sudden changes in image feel way more impactful, cause the rest of the movie feels so far away and subtle. Probably a portrayal of Lee harker being “cursed” by the ball in her doll and being foggy and disoriented. sound and picture in general made the film feel very intimate and personal, for example lees loud breathing made it feel more humanlike and natural but also very disturbing at the same time.
One thing I heard about the movie is, that in the scene where lee finds her mothers box with lees teeth and hair inside, it refers to the dolls being made out of human hair. Maybe that’s why lee was so intuitive, cause she was connected to the dolls. “You been to my house” says carrie Anne.

what I appreciate about the movie is how dry and weird the dialogue is. If you pay attention or rewatch it many times, it gets clear that the film is pretty much straight forward. The meaning and answers are all RIGHT THERE, just hard to see. while you’re busy looking for small details, the bigger picture is missed (which in this case, is the tone of the movie) which already resembles the evil, since it’s not always something you can look at, but more feel. 
The seventh she
(Some might argue that lee and her mother are only a family of two, and longlegs choosing this family wouldn’t make sense)
longlegs is supposed to resemble the father figure, as the harker family is the seventh family to be given the choice of crimson and clover. In spiritual and biblical meaning 7 is the number of completion. 

>>The dragon stood on the shore of the sea.
And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. It had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on its horns, and on each head a blasphemous name<<

The unholy trinity
The dragon (the beast)

The beast of the earth (Antichrist)

Longlegs 

the beast of the sea (the false prophet)
Harkers mother, who does the dirty work, like a wolf in sheep’s clothing 

A scene that really stays in my mind is the one with carrie anne. The way she talks is just insane. The strange terminology and expressions she made are immaculate and overall, The performances in longlegs are unforgettable. God I think about this movie everyday. The acting fits the tone of the movie so well. It’s cold, isolated and uncomfortable, the color palate reminds of the southern gothic aesthetic. 

I read a YouTube comment on a longlegs deep dive once where someone said that they disliked that longlegs doesn’t fully commit to one horror subgenre. It has a big supernatural aspect but also a big investigation part. I personally think that this is needed and well made, because it is the disagreement of the natural and supernatural.The doubt of everyone around harker of her spiraling and not finding anything. We need genre bending and morphing, otherwise it’s hard making original films. Longlegs is way more than original, it is very impactful and timeless. And I love it so much!!

The kind of movie that makes me want to rate everything I ever watched lower just to show how good this is

I absolutely love park chan-wooks way of filmmaking, it’s dark and disgusting (in a good way) and he doesn’t hold back. How is it even possible turning a revenge story into something so cinematically beautiful, but still taken with care ? The score is so beyond perfect and choices like the picture losing its color go so well with a person losing their sanity to optain justice.

I love how every scene has kind of a different vibe and it feels so patiently made, every actor brings life into each scene but in their own way, and it all comes together perfectly

That father-daughter relationship made me sob

Paprika is everything inception tried to be (jk)

I love surrealism and paprika is the perfect example of

So weird!!! (In a good way) I think the Investigation aspect could’ve been shorter, I get that it makes sense in the end but for the fact that we got to see both perspectives, (grace and Danielle) they could’ve gone further with the imagery. I loveeeed the soundtrack and the vibe of this movie and the split screen scenes were really impressive, especially in the context of sisters  

Btw I almost shit myself when I saw the Annabelle doll in the end

Should’ve went into a whole different direction, I respect this as an objectively well made movie but In my eyes, it felt like an uncomfortable perverted fantasy at times. I appreciate the character depth and weird ions?? (and how far you would go if there’s no one holding you back and you’re disturbed and mental and possibly psychotic) but, what I really did not like is the uncareful and uncomfortable presentation of sex and sexual themes. ( I know well made movies where sex is portrayed as a metaphor for guilt, talking about it follows here), so the topic itself isn’t really the problem, but rather the way it got visualized on screen.
For example, the abuse Yoko had to go through when she was younger. This scene felt so insensitive and unimpactful, almost like she had to accept that, move on and understand the male perversion.
I loved yokos character but I believe this should’ve explored the themes in a more careful matter and the ending should’ve been way different. (Especially with yokos hate for men, and the pain they have caused her) Its definitely not for debate that yu IS a bad person, I think we all know that, but with his place in this movie it made his behavior seem normal and without a lot of regret. Usually this type of movie isn’t for me and I know that, that’s why I’m trying to form a somewhat understandable opinion on this while still appreciating the movie. ALSO, what happened to yoko being a lesbian and going through religious guilt for half the movie, just for her to end up with her step brother, a man,  who crossed the line a million times??

Edit: I know I probably missed a lot of details, and probably didn’t really understand half the movie, and I’m no professional movie reviewer, but those are just the thoughts I had while watching this.
