Longlegs, a new occult thriller directed by Oz Perkins, boasts an atmosphere of relentless foreboding and an array of unsettling visuals. However, despite its stylish execution, the film ultimately fails to deliver on the psychological depth promised by its premise, relying instead on a barrage of jump scares and visual tricks. While the film’s aesthetic is impressive, its narrative and character development fall short, leaving audiences with a sense of superficial dread rather than genuine terror.
