Longlegs
Once there was a little girl named Lee…
Because of her apparent clairvoyance abilities, FBI agent Lee Harker (Maika Monroe) is assigned to a series of unsolved murder/suicide cases where the father kills his family & then commits suicide. Although Harker seems least likely to be an FBI field agent type, she manages to crack the coded messages left behind signed as from Longlegs as well as figure out a pattern to these murders. It is a bizarre tale involving dolls, the occult, & possession. My logical mind can’t quite wrap my mind around this twisted story. It’s dark, murky, & eerie. It kept me on edge but I️ can’t say I️ really liked it. Blair Underwood, Alicia Witt, & Nicolas Cage are in the supporting cast. Cage plays his weirdest character yet.
Alien gives it 2 “Polaroid photo” stars out of 4.
