That Bill Clinton picture on the wall was huge. I think this film is meant to be in the same time and universe as Silence Of The Lambs, Twin Peaks or X-Files. PS Everyone is going to go on about Nick Cage who was weird and scary (Hannibal Lecter was scarier in my opinion) but Maika Monroe and Alicia Witt were phenomenal also. The whole cast really. I wouldn’t be surprised if there is a sequel. Great video!
I watched this movie literally today having never heard of it, but my dad bought tickets on a whim and I gotta say it was better than I thought! My favorite scene was the parallel between Lee and Longlegs with their respective driving scenes in the same car. Nic cage was genuinely insane in this and I gotta give him props because his character was who Jared Leto wants to be when he method acts. Like holy shit. The whole atmosphere really helped with the suspense, with all the open space and all. The trailers for other neon films while in the theater made me genuinely want to watch them, and that usually doesn’t happen. I can’t wait for Cuckoo to come out.
Eh kinda, but I think that was all kind of dashed when her mom tells her story and basically exposition dumps all over us. I really wish they hadn't done that. I think even if they just showed all the same stuff without her narration it would have worked out better and it would have given more reasons for rewatching it so you could piece everything together.
@@tommym7321Agreed. Also Im in disagreement that this movie is some kind of deep introspective psychological horror that is worth watch multiple times like many have suggested. Its honestly pretty heavy-handed, on-the-nose, and shallow by the end (still a fun watch though, the hype is just getting to be a bit much)
The moment when I saw the clock aligned to exactly 6 on both hands when she walked into her mom’s place at the end I knew exactly what was up. Clapped when the lead detective (edit: did “that” to her mom) as sick as it was

See what “expectations” can do? Just let the film show you what it is This is a classic; right up there w/Se7en, Silence of the Lambs, The Shining. Not that it’s even the strongest amongst those; but those 3 films are absolutely what this film gives
Nic Cage's scream in the car was actually what completely took me out of the movie. The tension was building and letting it release that way was extremely unfulfilling. There were so many jumps in the storyline that were jarring like the movie had been chopped up to save time. ****Spoilers**** The whole aspect of putting souls in the dolls was also very unfulfilling. It's like they went "okay we have an interesting premise with a serial killer... let's just throw that out the window and SATAN IS BEHIND IT ALL." Even the whole "a gift from the church" part was very interesting. The mother was obviously involved from the moment you meet her. I really felt this movie lacked some cohesion in key moments. Moments when she was actually doing detective work and such were very interesting, but as soon as it completez the jump over to supernatural it lost me. Se7en is a great example pf how this should be done. Also "hey I conveniently have a photo of this exact guy in my childhood box of memories, so now we can go look aaaaaaand he's already caught. Just weird direction choices that could have been so much better. I understand I'm in the minority about this movie since everyone else seems to think it was great, but hey, that's cinema.
I don't think the photo was meant to be convenient but more a part of destiny that was playing out. Much like her visions, it was all clearly part of some immaculate design wherein she'd be able to bring an end to everything and save that last girl. That's how I saw it anyway.
“TAKE COVER CHIIIIIIIIIILLLLE!!!” Now swiiiiiiiiiitch.. to kryptoNIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITE!!!!” 😂🤣no other actor on earth can sing song their lines in such an artistic way like Cage 🤣
I liked the creepy atmosphere, but it has too many glaring plot holes. Longlegs started the murder-suicide killings in the mid 1960s, not visiting the Harkers until the 1970s. He had no accomplice that we know of, which implies he did go in the houses, even though the movie explicitly states that he didn't. It took the FBI 30 goddamn years to find one of the dolls that looks exactly like the murdered child? Based on the scene of her mom leaving one of the houses, she doesn't take the dolls with her. So... you know, a whole fuck ton of fingerprints. Speaking of FBI incompetence, did they seriously not figure out that there was someone else present in the house? Our forensics were pretty good by then, there's no reason they shouldn't have been able to tell in decades of killings that someone showed up at the house. This movie feels like they had an idea, but either didn't really think it through all the way, or they had to make the FBI incompetent to make it work.
Jeremy Jahns, I'm glad you are still giving us movie reviews I remember like it was yesterday when I saw my brother watching you with a baby face and thinking you were Ray William Johnson.(my parents didn't want him watching Ray Lamooo) I love you man keep these movie reviews coming we will always watch them, man.
I completely agree about the ending. I didn't feel full after the risotto.. I think it was very intriguing and I was really excited for this one, but Brian Cox in Adaptation said it a long time ago. "Wow them in the end and you've got a hit." This didn't wow me and I was a little disappointed, but overall a pretty decent flick.
One thing I loved about Cage’s performance is that, as crazy as he plays this character, there are moments of genuine humanity. For instance, he’ll be acting wild and zany, but there’s a genuine pain in his eyes. It won’t be everybody’s thing, but for me, that really worked.
The whole time I couldn’t stop comparing him to Buffalo Bill mixed with Joker from the Dark Night. As much as I wanted to love this movie, I didn’t really care for the Longlegs character. Very over the top acting, it had been done before and much better. And the plot twist had me a little confused. I thought it made for great entertainment at the time and served the movie well, but now looking back I see that It was kind of cheap and lazy story telling.
The movie was F'n awesome. Everytime Lee was framed with empty space behind her I was just waiting for something to jump out at her. It was really awesome to be scared and not have music signal the jump scare. It is definitely a new horror classic and sets a new standard.
@@dan9700It’s an atmospheric horror that makes you feel a sense of dread. It’s not shitty horrors that throws jump scares at you every 10 seconds to keep you engage because it has no substance or story.
Although I was very intrigued at the start, I ultimately found the whole film predictable and disappointing. The acting and editing is phenomenal, but the script is filled with clunky exposition, unrealistic character choices, and very obvious reveals. An anti-climactic climax is the final nail in the coffin. The film boasts an intelligent mystery, and resolves it with a campy predictable outcome that feels like a first pass at the script. I'm glad many people seem to have enjoyed the film, I just was wondering if anyone else felt the same way I did? Or am I completely in the minority here?
You are not alone. Nothing felt fresh here - I felt like from minute 1 I was predicting the scenes as they happened all to end in honestly one of the most deflating endings I’ve ever seen. Not good.
Although the story was ultimately a bit of a let down, this movie was an absolute EXPERIENCE to watch in theaters. The sound design and cinematography have certain elements of this film seared into my mind's eye. Fantastic cinema.
@@smileyyyyy1249Idk for me it was just because the actual reasons for this stuff going on was really a big let down and retroactively makes me think less of the plot of the movie Spoilers: Having everything boiling down to "the devil is evil and he makes good people do evil things outta nowhere" is as basic and shallow a religious reference you could possibly make lol. It actually in hindsight makes all the cryptic dialogue, bible verses, and imagery feel like it was put in there just to be cool and mysterious, rather than have any actual real meaning. Even things like "who called her to let her know about the birthday party at the end", why they use time periods where publicly corrupt presidents were in office pictured on the wall, and the idea behind the goals of Long Legs become pretty uninteresting when you realize it all boils down to "evil bad, satan bad, oh he said hail satan, he bad"
@@PantsaBear I see what you’re saying so many scary movies basically do a lot of superstition and devil stuff. Honestly, I just thought it was gonna be about a good cop trying to put down a crazy sicko serial killer. I think it was good for me and it was a little bit of a twist. It’s because I really didn’t expect the mom to be in on it. I had a feeling that the mom knew the serial killer, but I didn’t think the mom was helping them kill all those houses.and I didn’t know that there was a little doll of Lee as well so there was some toys to me, but I can see where you’re coming from… A lot of scary movies do the same thing… And that’s the superficial/Satan/devil possess blah blah blah
Osgood excels at crafting atmospheric movies dripping with ominous dread. Longlegs is probably his best movie to date. My theatre was ghost quiet and gasped several times. Maika was outstanding. My fav horror movie of the year though is still Abigail.
It’s not better than black coats 🧥 daughter. That’s another movie 🎥 of his that came out in 2015 10 years ago Damn near. Go check it out it’s wayyy better than long legs 🦵. I still love long legs tho
LONGLEGS was exactly what I needed it to be. A creepy and atmospheric horror movie. Nicolas Cage in almost every movie I have seen him in does not disappoint. His performance is top-notch.
It takes a lot to surprise me in film nowadays, but this movie did it. I never could've guessed where it went. Superb. Maika Monroe is always perfection on screen. Nice Cage gave one of his best performances. This thing captivated me.
I fell asleep 30 minutes into it and woke up exactly 30 minutes before it ended. The beginning came on hard but after the initial “bang” the slow burn was too slow for me.
This movie throws so many curveballs at you, every time you feel like your starting to figure out what’s going on it will rip it away from you. It’s a fun movie
Man I just respect the hell out of your reviews. Other channels get sooooo into pretentious talk from their “experience” as “filmmakers” and they had me swayed in my later teens and early twenties in that naive cynicism if you get me. I’ve been watching your channel for over a decade now. You get in, review the film and you do know your shit. No waffle no bs. Your rating system makes perfect sense too. Props Jeremy!!
I was a fan up until the final plot movement was revealed. If it kept going in the direction it started with I think I would’ve walked out of the theatre satisfied. Visually it was great. Casting was great. The sensation of eeriness was perfect. Kept me on the edge of my seat almost the entire time. The ending left me unfulfilled and I think most people felt the same way when the credits came up.
@@ResidentKen Actually I was just stating something that I found to be pretty diddly darn neat. Saw the vid pop up with like 2 views and I thought, "Hot dog! You bet your ass I'm watchin that right this second!" And Longlegs is an excellent movie that I highly recommend to anyone who loves innovation in the horror genre! There's a real opinion for you^. Just to let ya know I'm not a bot in case you didn't catch on through how stupid and oblivious I talk in the comments section.😃
Jeremy, I've been a fan for a long time and you just went up even higher in my books. The "Revelations" misnomer has been a pet peeve of mine for decades. I used to teach at a Bible College and all my students never heard the end of it.
Honestly, I felt like I had the opposite gripe where they explained too much of what was going on *specifically in that one flashback sequence*. They really spell it out for you, which I think is to the movies detriment since the first half thrives on the dread of the unknown.
Yep spot on I did not enjoy what it ended up being and kinda ruined the whole thing for me because I’m just like we did that whole burn to do the most obvious thing ever
I think late night with the devil is verrrryyyyy overrated honestly a big let down to me, not scary at all very cheesy, story/ premise was good until the end when they ruined it all and made it stupid and dumb . You guys must just not watch much horror .
@@Skylerknowsphins People say Hereditary is like whoa so scary omg and it wasn't. People say the First Omen wasn't scary. To me - it was disturbing. It depends on which subgenre of horror you prefer. It's not really black and white. I believe jumpscares are outdated, they shouldn't be a thing in 2024, yet someone else loves those. It all depends on what you're looking for, what scares you, what haunts you.
@@Skylerknowsphins good thing entertainment is subjective. What you think is phenomenal, I might find bland and boring. Shudder is my number one streaming platform so yes, I watch a ton of horror.
I appreciated the correction so much lmao. It’s bugged me my whole life whenever movies do that. I said out loud “Revelation. It’s singular, there’s no S” at the same time as Maika Monroe, and then I realized that she said it too, and I felt so vindicated lol. And I can tell you from experience that her character would know that too since she grew up with a very religious mother. I agree completely about the ending, could’ve had it go for literally just a minute longer, and it would’ve been absolutely perfect. But as it is, damn if this movie didn’t blow me away. I walked out of the theater in a daze, couldn’t believe what I watched. And then my mind raced back to all the clues I missed over the course of the movie and realized that I could’ve seen a lot of things coming, and so much lined up perfectly. Longlegs deserves a second viewing, and I can’t wait to see it again! Completely loved it. For me, right now it’s a 9.8/10, but a second watch would probably give it that last 0.2
This movie fell really flat for me. It was good and Nic Cage did a great job, but I was disappointed in the story direction and the use of Longlegs. It was terribly underwhelming. Sure, there was an eerie presence and some interesting moments. But at the end I couldn’t help but ask myself, “That’s it?” Those that compared this to Silence of the Lambs are def blowing smoke. This is no where in the ballpark of that masterpiece.
FINALLY SOMEONE WHO AGREES. This was supposed to be a psychological thriller and I wasn’t even remotely thrilled. For me, even Nic Cages performance fell flat.
Agreed. Great sense of eeriness and being on the edge of your seat for much of the movie, waiting to be paid out but in the end, the climax didn’t do it for me.
I’ll never feel asleep in a movie theater but this was the closest time. I like the first act, score and lead actress. At the same time felt like the script was made by AI.
I saw Longlegs today. It definitely lived up to the hype. Creepy, disturbing, and unsettling are words that describe this movie. And the ending is terrific. I so enjoy an ending that doesn't wrap up everything all neat and tidy.
You can figure out the ending towards the middle of the movie but still a great watch for the supernatural thriller that it is. I also agree with Jeremy about the ending being a bit lackluster.
2:44 That Nic Cage impression reminded me of that one scene in Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance where he's threatening a bad guy. I believe the line recited there was "He's scraping at the door!!!"
Jeremy Jains is my favorite reviewer of all time. His views are that of the people and he does a great job at explaining the jist of the movie without spoiling it. Thank you sir can’t believe it’s been over a decade of reviews
I have to say I've watched the trailer like 5 times in hopes I'll find it intriguing enough to go watch but the trailer never made feel like it's worth watching, so i'm glad you've reviewed it, now I'm sure it's worth watching
Holy shit. Considering some hot takes we've seen about this movie, I was expecting Jeremy to give this "No alcohol required"! Wow, his verdict blew me away as much as the movie did.
Thank you for that Revelation comment. Has always bugged me when media gets it wrong. It’s not like looking up the correct name of the book is hard to do or anything
Really liked it, tone, atmosphere, acting, writing direction and of course Cage but I feel the advertising let it down somewhat as they were touting it as the scariest movie ever etc It’s very creepy but not particularly scary.
My favorite horror movie this year is "When Evil Lurks". Jeremy didn't review it, but it stands out above the other great horror movies in 2024. Longlegs and The First Omen are close behind.
I have been looking forward to this film for months - the marketing was fantastic. It was a late-ish showing (for me - I tend to flag at around 10pm and get a second wind after) at 9:40pm, but my theatre was packed which is rare for English language first showings in Quebec City. So I fell asleep a couple of times, fighting to keep awake because this was an awesome film. Nic Cage was creepy as hell, especially in the first scene he appears in. I loved this film and will watch it again. Please let there be a sequel and please the Cage return.
I loved this movie. It's one of the best thrillers I've seen since Sinister. I'd give it 8/10, but that's because I didn't like the main character. I avoided all reviews on it until I watched it. I really enjoyed the tension and it's way better than most of the junk that's come out. That ending was so interesting, my heart was going the whole time. I loved that the film was able to hold tension and never shot itself. This year has already had two great films. This and Abigail.
Legitimately one of my favorite horror movies ever. I can't think of another movie that had me so filled with anxiety and unsettled from teh first scene to the last. Definitely one that I plan to see again in theaters for subtle things I may hage missed.
The fact that when I rewinded back to that Nick cage impression and it’s showed that it was the most played back moment of the video made it 10x funnier😭😭😭
Watched it on saturday and it's just a very bad movie. "Like silence of the lambs" lol, it's more like numbness of the limbs. Nic Cage was cringe worthy in his acting, i didn't know whether to laugh or just get up and go. I actually watched to the end hoping for a wow moment, but to no avail. Bad bad bad! A pre-Sorry to anyone who thought it was a good film, but wtf were you watching!
Thought the same exact thing and everyone in the audience as well. 1/10. Heard multiple lip smacking and people sighing and questioning the movie. the enjoyable part was when Nicolas cage was on screen cause of how funny he looked and acted lmaooo everyone saying it’s good has to be a bot or getting paid to give a fake positive review. no way there’s people out there who actually think this was a great movie, let alone good
It was very good but unfortunately did over explain at the end. If you’re gonna over explain the mother’s connection you need to explain why he ended up living in the mother’s house and also, some backstory to Cobble? Like, maybe how he became what he is? Was he part of a cult? The ciphers are kind of blown over, it would’ve been neat to see some connection to perhaps ancient Sumerian texts or something, some deeper drive to Cobble’s mission than simply ‘Hail Satan.’ I would find it interesting if perhaps Cobble as a boy had an encounter with someone doing what he now does & it gets passed on like a demonic virus/contract required to not be killed by the predator. I dunno, a lot explained yet not explained leaving an unfinished feeling. Perhaps a prequel for Cobble? Interesting name too. Cobblepot/The Penguin. Cage’s character had Joker & Penguin all over it. I was waiting for Batman to show up during the interrogation. Didn’t understand the clothes at all. Weird pinkish white, multiple button up shirts, the powdered face. Came off less Marc Bolan glam & more Liberace. He had guitars (a Flying V), awesome. But why? Was in he in a band at some point? Did Satan promise him fame & fortune for doing his ‘dirty work’? What was the metal ball? What material? How does it channel the voice of the devil? So much left to imagine which is annoying as what’s left to imagine about Cobble is juxtaposed against what is explained which is that the mother is arguably more of a player here in the murders. She actually enters the home. She is an accomplice!! In classic Manson fashion, Cobble never actually kills anyone. Anyway, so many holes, so many questions, so many missed opportunities. This film needed another hour to artfully fill in some blanks and it would’ve been a masterpiece. I give it a solid B+ or three stars. Also, not really scary but definitely ambient, eerie & at times, although brief, creepy.
-SPOILERS DONT READ IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN- In reference to his face looking all fucked, I think what they were going for is either 1. dealing with the devil or black magic in general takes a tole on a human, 2. since he was putting part of his own essence into each of those dark orbs for the dolls, probably as a piece of his soul gets cut off every time it changes his physical appearance. But I also agree that the prosthetics looked fake (my only gripe about the movie) with the exception being that creepy scene where they're watching his jail footage and the footage is all grainy, the prosthetics looked fantastic there.
It's not the director is a talented artist forced to make a movie that will appeal to the masses but he still try's to hold on to some integrity. It was a nice blend imo
@@EddieSmith917 im glad u can enjoy it, but i wont understand how. Everyone speaks in code. The flashes of "disturbing imagery" that disrupts whatever tension he was trying to build, the acting that was stiff and unrelatable, the annoying ostentatious cinematography. I always liked my fair share of horrors that dont appeal to the masses, Babadook, Skinamarink, Possum. This was just something else and Im so disappointed Im saying this.
It was a smart move to leave Nic Cage out of the advertising. His character is like a cross between Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs, the Zodiac Killer, and a crazy religious Aunt or Granny like figure. It's quite amazing! Favorite horror movie of the year so far has to be Late Night With The Devil
I watched Longlegs second time today and it might be the best looking horror/thriller I've seen in months. I couldn't take my eyes off of it. And Nicolas Cage is batshit crazy in this one.
This movie is the most Nic cage with the least Nic cage possible. The most efficient Nic cage ratio ever devised
Jake Peralta would be massively intrigued
A ratio of 100/0 = infinite Nic Cage
greatest take i’ve seen thank u
In my Letterboxd review I wrote “They hit the record button and yelled GO NIC and he acted accordingly.”
Nic Cage min max the movie

One thing I loved about Cage’s performance is that, as crazy as he plays this character, there are moments of genuine humanity. For instance, he’ll be acting wild and zany, but there’s a genuine pain in his eyes. It won’t be everybody’s thing, but for me, that really worked.
Uhhhhh.......ok. sure thing bud
I got none of that.
The whole time I couldn’t stop comparing him to Buffalo Bill mixed with Joker from the Dark Night. As much as I wanted to love this movie, I didn’t really care for the Longlegs character. Very over the top acting, it had been done before and much better. And the plot twist had me a little confused. I thought it made for great entertainment at the time and served the movie well, but now looking back I see that It was kind of cheap and lazy story telling.
I think, because of all the mad stuff Cage does now, people forget he can be a damned great actor.
I get you on that. He’s just on a different level
I think late night with the devil and this are my favorite horror films of the year so far. Super creative and really good use of the format.
The mystery was so good it took them literally one bit of evidence to capture Longlegs after decades evading them.
considering that one bit of evidence was a close up picture of his face, id say yeah, that made sense
The movie was F'n awesome. Everytime Lee was framed with empty space behind her I was just waiting for something to jump out at her. It was really awesome to be scared and not have music signal the jump scare. It is definitely a new horror classic and sets a new standard.
What you on the first hour and half was a snooze fest
@@dan9700It’s an atmospheric horror that makes you feel a sense of dread.
It’s not shitty horrors that throws jump scares at you every 10 seconds to keep you engage because it has no substance or story.
@@dan9700let me guess, you were the type of kid that ate the marshmallow after being told waiting got you two
@@dan9700 The first half was incredible. Some horror movies aren't for everyone, accept that.
@@a012345 but it wasn’t scary at all and the first hour and half was so boring I wanted to fall asleep

Although I was very intrigued at the start, I ultimately found the whole film predictable and disappointing. The acting and editing is phenomenal, but the script is filled with clunky exposition, unrealistic character choices, and very obvious reveals. An anti-climactic climax is the final nail in the coffin. The film boasts an intelligent mystery, and resolves it with a campy predictable outcome that feels like a first pass at the script. I'm glad many people seem to have enjoyed the film, I just was wondering if anyone else felt the same way I did? Or am I completely in the minority here?
This is exactly how I feel. I kinda feel like a dumbass for not “getting” it but I honestly think I went in with expectations far too high.
I felt EXACTLY the same
Same here...
You are not alone. Nothing felt fresh here - I felt like from minute 1 I was predicting the scenes as they happened all to end in honestly one of the most deflating endings I’ve ever seen. Not good.
Completely agree. I feel like I must be crazy from seeing all the praise
I wish this was just a movie about catching a serial killer instead of how it ended up
I don't
Same, it was trash
Although the story was ultimately a bit of a let down, this movie was an absolute EXPERIENCE to watch in theaters. The sound design and cinematography have certain elements of this film seared into my mind's eye. Fantastic cinema.
The story was good to me ! Why was it a let?
Down
@@smileyyyyy1249Idk for me it was just because the actual reasons for this stuff going on was really a big let down and retroactively makes me think less of the plot of the movie
Spoilers:
Having everything boiling down to "the devil is evil and he makes good people do evil things outta nowhere" is as basic and shallow a religious reference you could possibly make lol. It actually in hindsight makes all the cryptic dialogue, bible verses, and imagery feel like it was put in there just to be cool and mysterious, rather than have any actual real meaning. Even things like "who called her to let her know about the birthday party at the end", why they use time periods where publicly corrupt presidents were in office pictured on the wall, and the idea behind the goals of Long Legs become pretty uninteresting when you realize it all boils down to "evil bad, satan bad, oh he said hail satan, he bad"
@@PantsaBear I see what you’re saying so many scary movies basically do a lot of superstition and devil stuff. Honestly, I just thought it was gonna be about a good cop trying to put down a crazy sicko serial killer. I think it was good for me and it was a little bit of a twist. It’s because I really didn’t expect the mom to be in on it. I had a feeling that the mom knew the serial killer, but I didn’t think the mom was helping them kill all those houses.and I didn’t know that there was a little doll of Lee as well so there was some toys to me, but I can see where you’re coming from… A lot of scary movies do the same thing… And that’s the superficial/Satan/devil possess blah blah blah
@@PantsaBearyou summed up my feelings perfectly! Totally agree with you.
The impression was gold 😂
Osgood excels at crafting atmospheric movies dripping with ominous dread. Longlegs is probably his best movie to date.
My theatre was ghost quiet and gasped several times. Maika was outstanding. My fav horror movie of the year though is still Abigail.
It’s not better than black coats 🧥 daughter. That’s another movie 🎥 of his that came out in 2015 10 years ago Damn near. Go check it out it’s wayyy better than long legs 🦵. I still love long legs tho
@@ronaldmcdonaldjuniorghost I've watched Blackcoat's Daughter. I think Longlegs is the better movie. Just my opinion.
I think it was a refreshing take on FBI vs serial killer movie !!! I wish it was longer.. I didn’t want it to end… really immersive
Definitely didn’t need to be longer
2:45 😂😂😂😂.... that's gonna be my new wake up alarm 😂
I can never hear the Happy Birthday song the same after seeing this movie
There's the birthday girl scared me too. Also, if my birthday was on the 14th I'd wanna cry.
Honestly that scene just made me think of Marilyn Monroe or rather Dave Chappelle's impersonation of Marilyn Monroe.
LONGLEGS was exactly what I needed it to be. A creepy and atmospheric horror movie. Nicolas Cage in almost every movie I have seen him in does not disappoint. His performance is top-notch.
2:46 Jeremy really put his heart and soul into that impression and for that he has my respect.

It takes a lot to surprise me in film nowadays, but this movie did it. I never could've guessed where it went. Superb. Maika Monroe is always perfection on screen. Nice Cage gave one of his best performances. This thing captivated me.
I think that says more that it was such a nonsense ending hag nobody could have figured it out
what film did you watch? this film sucks
I agree definitely a great film and performance by cage!
I just got into a car accident last night. That Nic Cage impression lifted my spirits for sure. Might have even partially healed me.
I fell asleep 30 minutes into it and woke up exactly 30 minutes before it ended. The beginning came on hard but after the initial “bang” the slow burn was too slow for me.

Man I just respect the hell out of your reviews. Other channels get sooooo into pretentious talk from their “experience” as “filmmakers” and they had me swayed in my later teens and early twenties in that naive cynicism if you get me. I’ve been watching your channel for over a decade now.
You get in, review the film and you do know your shit. No waffle no bs. Your rating system makes perfect sense too.
Props Jeremy!!
I was a fan up until the final plot movement was revealed. If it kept going in the direction it started with I think I would’ve walked out of the theatre satisfied.
Visually it was great. Casting was great. The sensation of eeriness was perfect. Kept me on the edge of my seat almost the entire time.
The ending left me unfulfilled and I think most people felt the same way when the credits came up.

I love Jeremy Jahns reviews. His combined review and comedy just make my day. KEEP IT UP BRO!
That nice cage impression had me in tears 😂😂😂
I was so disappointed with this movie. Up until the final chunk of the second act I was totally into it.
most movies fumble the ending…so so disappointing
Jeremy, I've been a fan for a long time and you just went up even higher in my books. The "Revelations" misnomer has been a pet peeve of mine for decades. I used to teach at a Bible College and all my students never heard the end of it.
LOL. So true. Lee "It's Revelation. It's not plural."
Mandela Effect. Just like the lion shall lie down with the lamb has magically changed to... the wolf shall dwell with the lamb also.
Gave me childhood flashbacks when you had the sound effect of the VCR spooling up.
Honestly, I felt like I had the opposite gripe where they explained too much of what was going on *specifically in that one flashback sequence*. They really spell it out for you, which I think is to the movies detriment since the first half thrives on the dread of the unknown.
Agreed, the most jarring exposition dump I've seen in a while, and some of the lines felt like a first draft for me
2:45 made this review awesometacular 💯💯💯
Too many unanswered questions. The setup was awesome, the ending not so much.
Totally agree. It was decent but the ending just fell flat
Yep spot on
I did not enjoy what it ended up being and kinda ruined the whole thing for me because I’m just like we did that whole burn to do the most obvious thing ever
So agree. Started incredible. Ended like a dumpster fire.
*spoiler*
The devil made them do it! Somehow…
Exactly.
LMAOOO YOU KILLED ME with that impression
Love the tone and the style of cameras used on this picture. Cage rules as always.
Late Night with the Devil is currently at the top of my 2024 horror list.
Late night with the devil really stayed with me for a couple of days. It was a bit haunting
I think late night with the devil is verrrryyyyy overrated honestly a big let down to me, not scary at all very cheesy, story/ premise was good until the end when they ruined it all and made it stupid and dumb . You guys must just not watch much horror .
@@Skylerknowsphins People say Hereditary is like whoa so scary omg and it wasn't. People say the First Omen wasn't scary. To me - it was disturbing. It depends on which subgenre of horror you prefer. It's not really black and white. I believe jumpscares are outdated, they shouldn't be a thing in 2024, yet someone else loves those. It all depends on what you're looking for, what scares you, what haunts you.
@@SkylerknowsphinsVFX are so bad, completely took me out of the movie
@@Skylerknowsphins good thing entertainment is subjective. What you think is phenomenal, I might find bland and boring. Shudder is my number one streaming platform so yes, I watch a ton of horror.
Just watched it yesterday.
Everyone played their part very well.
The atmosphere is creepy.
Cage was creepy and unhinged.
Had a good time.
I appreciated the correction so much lmao. It’s bugged me my whole life whenever movies do that. I said out loud “Revelation. It’s singular, there’s no S” at the same time as Maika Monroe, and then I realized that she said it too, and I felt so vindicated lol. And I can tell you from experience that her character would know that too since she grew up with a very religious mother.
I agree completely about the ending, could’ve had it go for literally just a minute longer, and it would’ve been absolutely perfect. But as it is, damn if this movie didn’t blow me away. I walked out of the theater in a daze, couldn’t believe what I watched. And then my mind raced back to all the clues I missed over the course of the movie and realized that I could’ve seen a lot of things coming, and so much lined up perfectly. Longlegs deserves a second viewing, and I can’t wait to see it again! Completely loved it. For me, right now it’s a 9.8/10, but a second watch would probably give it that last 0.2
That crazy cage impression was 🤌. Well done sir.
This movie fell really flat for me. It was good and Nic Cage did a great job, but I was disappointed in the story direction and the use of Longlegs. It was terribly underwhelming. Sure, there was an eerie presence and some interesting moments. But at the end I couldn’t help but ask myself, “That’s it?” Those that compared this to Silence of the Lambs are def blowing smoke. This is no where in the ballpark of that masterpiece.
FINALLY SOMEONE WHO AGREES. This was supposed to be a psychological thriller and I wasn’t even remotely thrilled. For me, even Nic Cages performance fell flat.
Here here. Most thrillers will never come close to silence of the lambs
@@benjaminmajorUT There is always going to be someone who agrees. No one is unique and special enough to be the one with a certain opinion. 😛
Agreed. Great sense of eeriness and being on the edge of your seat for much of the movie, waiting to be paid out but in the end, the climax didn’t do it for me.

I’ll never feel asleep in a movie theater but this was the closest time. I like the first act, score and lead actress. At the same time felt like the script was made by AI.
Made by ai? What how
I saw Longlegs today. It definitely lived up to the hype. Creepy, disturbing, and unsettling are words that describe this movie. And the ending is terrific. I so enjoy an ending that doesn't wrap up everything all neat and tidy.
The first omen is my favorite so far this year.
Those are awful movies
@@Tampafan33 Awful? Wow, your taste in movies is truly next-level, stick to watching cartoons
It was pretty disturbing. I liked it too
in a violent nature enters the chat....
In a Violent Nature and Kinds of Kindness have taken arthouse to two other levels. First Omen was really arthouse, too.
You can figure out the ending towards the middle of the movie but still a great watch for the supernatural thriller that it is. I also agree with Jeremy about the ending being a bit lackluster.
That Cage impression was pure gold!!! ❤
1st half best movie of the year 2nd half of the movie knocks down a couple of pegs
Nic Cage we all know we're going to watch it regardless the reviews 😂
I’d wait, not worth the expensive movie tickets of today
@@jayp00059not expensive if you have something like say: the regal unlimited movie pass to basically watch it for free in theaters
He is crazy as balls in this movie... So Nic Cage on a normal Sunday at home.
2:44 That Nic Cage impression reminded me of that one scene in Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance where he's threatening a bad guy. I believe the line recited there was "He's scraping at the door!!!"
Jeremy Jains is my favorite reviewer of all time. His views are that of the people and he does a great job at explaining the jist of the movie without spoiling it. Thank you sir can’t believe it’s been over a decade of reviews
This was soo worth it just for the nic cage impression 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I found this to be boring and not a slow burn.
I have to say I've watched the trailer like 5 times in hopes I'll find it intriguing enough to go watch but the trailer never made feel like it's worth watching, so i'm glad you've reviewed it, now I'm sure it's worth watching
I suggest taking a coffee into the theatre with you.
Holy shit. Considering some hot takes we've seen about this movie, I was expecting Jeremy to give this "No alcohol required"! Wow, his verdict blew me away as much as the movie did.

Thank you for that Revelation comment. Has always bugged me when media gets it wrong. It’s not like looking up the correct name of the book is hard to do or anything
Really liked it, tone, atmosphere, acting, writing direction and of course Cage but I feel the advertising let it down somewhat as they were touting it as the scariest movie ever etc
It’s very creepy but not particularly scary.
When second half of ahsoka review?
Did Ti West piss Jeremy off or something. Why hasn't he reviewed his movies since X? 😂
I mean probably
My favorite horror movie this year is "When Evil Lurks". Jeremy didn't review it, but it stands out above the other great horror movies in 2024. Longlegs and The First Omen are close behind.
when evil lurks was 2023
I have been looking forward to this film for months - the marketing was fantastic. It was a late-ish showing (for me - I tend to flag at around 10pm and get a second wind after) at 9:40pm, but my theatre was packed which is rare for English language first showings in Quebec City. So I fell asleep a couple of times, fighting to keep awake because this was an awesome film. Nic Cage was creepy as hell, especially in the first scene he appears in. I loved this film and will watch it again. Please let there be a sequel and please the Cage return.
But...he died lol
@@bobthehoboiscool Yes, ***spoilers***, but... the doll at the end... I think we witnessed the birth of a supernatural entity
The supernatural shit ruined it for me. I give it like a 6.5/10. Just too goofy
Fr it was creepy then undermined itself by leaning on campy supernatural explanations
I loved this movie. It's one of the best thrillers I've seen since Sinister. I'd give it 8/10, but that's because I didn't like the main character. I avoided all reviews on it until I watched it. I really enjoyed the tension and it's way better than most of the junk that's come out. That ending was so interesting, my heart was going the whole time. I loved that the film was able to hold tension and never shot itself.
This year has already had two great films. This and Abigail.

Legitimately one of my favorite horror movies ever. I can't think of another movie that had me so filled with anxiety and unsettled from teh first scene to the last. Definitely one that I plan to see again in theaters for subtle things I may hage missed.
It was really good - but I'm older and I like the 'slow burn'
Unpopular but I like it more than silence of the lambs which makes it definitely my favorite of the year
The fact that when I rewinded back to that Nick cage impression and it’s showed that it was the most played back moment of the video made it 10x funnier😭😭😭
That opening was incredible.
Watched it on saturday and it's just a very bad movie. "Like silence of the lambs" lol, it's more like numbness of the limbs. Nic Cage was cringe worthy in his acting, i didn't know whether to laugh or just get up and go. I actually watched to the end hoping for a wow moment, but to no avail. Bad bad bad! A pre-Sorry to anyone who thought it was a good film, but wtf were you watching!
Thought the same exact thing and everyone in the audience as well. 1/10. Heard multiple lip smacking and people sighing and questioning the movie. the enjoyable part was when Nicolas cage was on screen cause of how funny he looked and acted lmaooo everyone saying it’s good has to be a bot or getting paid to give a fake positive review. no way there’s people out there who actually think this was a great movie, let alone good

Gonna have to save this for later! I’m going to see it today?
Really solid thriller. 8/10. Cinematography was excellent. Acting was excellent. Plot needed a tiny bit more.
This reminded me of The Cell. Acting was really good. Predictable? Yes, non the less, still terrifying and very cinematic! Top 20 suspenseful movies.
The advertising of this movie was pure genius. Truly one of the best horror films in recent years.
Okay bot
It was very good but unfortunately did over explain at the end. If you’re gonna over explain the mother’s connection you need to explain why he ended up living in the mother’s house and also, some backstory to Cobble? Like, maybe how he became what he is? Was he part of a cult? The ciphers are kind of blown over, it would’ve been neat to see some connection to perhaps ancient Sumerian texts or something, some deeper drive to Cobble’s mission than simply ‘Hail Satan.’ I would find it interesting if perhaps Cobble as a boy had an encounter with someone doing what he now does & it gets passed on like a demonic virus/contract required to not be killed by the predator. I dunno, a lot explained yet not explained leaving an unfinished feeling. Perhaps a prequel for Cobble? Interesting name too. Cobblepot/The Penguin. Cage’s character had Joker & Penguin all over it. I was waiting for Batman to show up during the interrogation. Didn’t understand the clothes at all. Weird pinkish white, multiple button up shirts, the powdered face. Came off less Marc Bolan glam & more Liberace. He had guitars (a Flying V), awesome. But why? Was in he in a band at some point? Did Satan promise him fame & fortune for doing his ‘dirty work’? What was the metal ball? What material? How does it channel the voice of the devil? So much left to imagine which is annoying as what’s left to imagine about Cobble is juxtaposed against what is explained which is that the mother is arguably more of a player here in the murders. She actually enters the home. She is an accomplice!! In classic Manson fashion, Cobble never actually kills anyone. Anyway, so many holes, so many questions, so many missed opportunities. This film needed another hour to artfully fill in some blanks and it would’ve been a masterpiece. I give it a solid B+ or three stars. Also, not really scary but definitely ambient, eerie & at times, although brief, creepy.
Watched this review earlier but came back for the Nick Cage impression LMAO. This review is a instant classic because of that impression.
-SPOILERS DONT READ IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN-
In reference to his face looking all fucked, I think what they were going for is either 1. dealing with the devil or black magic in general takes a tole on a human, 2. since he was putting part of his own essence into each of those dark orbs for the dolls, probably as a piece of his soul gets cut off every time it changes his physical appearance. But I also agree that the prosthetics looked fake (my only gripe about the movie) with the exception being that creepy scene where they're watching his jail footage and the footage is all grainy, the prosthetics looked fantastic there.
im awestruck ppl cant see how pretentious the film is
Why what happens
It's not the director is a talented artist forced to make a movie that will appeal to the masses but he still try's to hold on to some integrity.
It was a nice blend imo
@@EddieSmith917 im glad u can enjoy it, but i wont understand how. Everyone speaks in code. The flashes of "disturbing imagery" that disrupts whatever tension he was trying to build, the acting that was stiff and unrelatable, the annoying ostentatious cinematography. I always liked my fair share of horrors that dont appeal to the masses, Babadook, Skinamarink, Possum. This was just something else and Im so disappointed Im saying this.
It was a smart move to leave Nic Cage out of the advertising. His character is like a cross between Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs, the Zodiac Killer, and a crazy religious Aunt or Granny like figure. It's quite amazing!
Favorite horror movie of the year so far has to be Late Night With The Devil
I watched Longlegs second time today and it might be the best looking horror/thriller I've seen in months. I couldn't take my eyes off of it. And Nicolas Cage is batshit crazy in this one.
AWESOME Nick Cage impression! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
