Longlegs is purposefully unmoored from time and reality by Oz Perkins. Which adds to the overwhelming and oppressive feeling of dread and gloom. The antique style and sepia tones emphasize Longlegs’ extensive history of murder that spans several decades, to the point that the killer appears otherworldly. While small touches, such as a portrait of Bill Clinton hanging behind Agent Carter’s desk, contribute to the overall sense of the period. Nicolas Cage gives his most unnerving performance to date, which helps even more. Perkins, in a novel move, treats this unique figure more like a strange boogeyman. Him as mysterious and elusive as possible, offering only brief glances into the killer’s schemes. It heightens the impact and unnerves the brief outbursts of Cage’s spooky freakouts.
