oh i wanted longlegs to be so much weirder than it was. it needed like three more script revisions and some deeper interrogation of the genre it sprang from, and someone to gently take the sound designer's hand on the volume dial and turn it down juuuuust a bit. i need the actual movie to be what scares me, not someone dropping a hammer on the piano to tell me i ought to be scared.

#ignore me #a LITTLE more time in the oven i beg #get that shit off nic cage's face #let me see his expressions i Know he can act with that face let me See it #a man with botched plastic surgery and makeup is your idea of a scary monster...? ok. let's back that up a bit #DESPITE ALL THAT i had a fun time watching it! really gorgeous visuals & i loved the soundtrack #despite the script needing some tightening some lines HIT like a freight train #but get carrie anne a fucking accent coach you cannot be saying those words without the accent to match. be serious.#and that finale..... it should have been twice as long #it was so first draft. like the movie was bored and wanted to wrap things up quick #the cross bullet hole on the mom's forehead was so good though #the effects were a little disappointing. dont get me wrong i LOVED that fuckign cow prop. it was so obviously fake it made me giggle #but ive seen better gore... guy smashes his face on the table to bits and we dont even see an eye pop out? cmonnnnnnn #ANYWAY! do go see it i liked it. have a fun drink & a bunch of friends over. it'll be a good evening
