The film wasn't good in the first place, but Nick Cage made me laugh out loud in the theater three times so it was at least worth the price of admission
Say what you want about his performance, but y'all know that if you saw this mf in real life walking down the street doing all of this, you wouldn't be laughing
Exactly, people say this is funny, but if this guy existed in real life, we’d be creeped out and probably think about him our whole life from time to time lol
Little unknown fact: the first version of the script for "Londlegs" didn't feature the appearance of the titular character at all, then one day during shooting Nikolas Cage just barged in on the set and did all this.
What's so perfect about this performance, is that its both funny, and deeply unsettling. Like, Cage is aware of himself and how he's perceived. And somehow, he uses that gonzo aspect of his acting, to basically channel it all into a creepy and convincing portrayal of LongLegs. I mean, somehow, he took the worst aspects of his acting, and used them to create an effectively disturbing and completely deranged serial killer. I mean, if you laugh, you're kinda laughing with him. and then the laughter turns into discomfort. Brilliant. And I can totally see why LongLegs was able to get away with his crimes for so long. He's the village madman that people just avoid. The same madman that killed parents and children in the name of satan.
@@cinemintits not shoehorned at all the entire plot revolves around it and throughout the entire film there are supernatural scenes with shots of the devil. The devil is in the whole film in the background of a lot of shots Edit: and he is a psycho he has no empathy for people the supernatural aspect doesnt remove that
@@cinemintI haven’t watched the movie, but what makes you think the movie portrayed the devil as a real thing? Wasn’t it just the acts of devil worshippers?
Some people theorize he was a failed glam rock singer who became obsessed with fame and sold his soul to Satan to acquire everlasting pleasure/fortune as a server of the Mr. Downstairs. He was also obsessed with staying young and got clearly botched plastic surgery, hence his look. The doll making was another way for him to create “perfection”, have control of the external. Idk. I know people were disappointed in this film but his character arc is fun to decipher.
Honestly??? The makeup for him was perfect. His face is so unrecognizable. Voice? Well yeah that's a given, that's him alright, but the face?? Perfect.
Funny fact. Nic Cage didnt actually sign on for this movie. He was vacationing in the area and just walked on set to talk to the kid actors and they just rolled the camera
Once again, Nic Cage being the best part of a movie that you’d never remember otherwise. Gotta give the man credit, he knows how to take nothing and make it genuinely entertaining
People find this funny but i swear to god i met people exactly like this People who needed psychiatric help but never got it, specially church ladies, and my aunt in particular
Thanks for the like. On a more serious note, I think Nicolas Cage was pretty amazing in the title role. Sure, I know, there's the criticism that he's over the top, but saying he's OTT with is acting is like saying bees make honey. Tell me something I don't know. Why I say he's amazing is that in one of his typical roles, people can enjoy it or not, but it's always more or less the same however one views it: It's Nic Cage playing a character who's pretty much a variation of Nic Cage. Like it or not, we've seen it before. But not the Longlegs character. The makeup is so heavy duty that we literally needed to be told that it's Cage in the part. He thus has to act through it, not being able to take advantage of his star power in the least. For the little bit of time he's on screen, he steals every scene he's in. It's one of his best and creepiest performances imho. That's in no way meant to be a slight to the rest of the cast, which is fine. Maika Monroe as Agent Lee Harker in particular stood out, as she seems to have been channeling Jody Foster's Clarice Starling in her delivery of lines, minus the Southern accent, and that's a good thing.
Every Nic Cage film is a comedy sir. Some of them are also other genres but ALL of them are comedies. But seriously I hated this movie and I love Cage in EVERYTHING
It is. It’s all so goofy, really. Nearly reads like a parody of contemporary horror films that are so self-serious. Longlegs is so much like that that it loops back to becoming so absurd and silly.
honestly, to me, he sings pretty good especially when hes in that car doing almost a death metal growl, he's italian (on his dads side) and german, polish, english & scottish mixed (most italians are gifted with a singing voice) through his dad, he's the nephew of francis ford coppola, and cousin to sofia coppola (who directed marie antionette (that has kirsten dunst in it)
@@cinemintthey did? The Devil/The Doll giving her psychic intuition is the reason she gets put on the case and the reason her partner gets killed at the start, I do agree that the film kind of forgets about the psychic powers in the second act but it makes sense since she isn’t actually psychic and isn’t actively channeling her power - the doll is telling her “where to look” so The Devil can string her along to eventually commit matricide
Say what you want about Nick Cage's roles/characters BUT in retrospect, nothing he has ever done has been boring. That's not the easiest thing to do in a long acting career.
Tik Tokers these days hate bizarre comic characters like Pennywise and Longlegs, I'm stunned lol. I assume they want their ting ling characters saying loudly at 3am or some shit that they're scary and bad 🤣
I'm pretty torn on this movie, I feel like it has a genuinely great setup and some decently tense scenes in the first half or so, but once it shows nic cage's character's full face and more of him acting goofy it kind of lost steam for me. Also the ending felt kinda lazy with them just telling you everything that had been happening through narration.
We deserve to see that 24-minute cut of Longlegs singing Happy Birthday.
Say what you want about his performance, but y'all know that if you saw this mf in real life walking down the street doing all of this, you wouldn't be laughing
Unless it was Nick Cage of course
If i was strapped id laugh out loud tbh

What does "long legs" even mean in that context?
And....he sang Happy Birthday for 24 minutes.
Hasn’t everyone done that before smh
What?

I actually bursted into laughter in the theatre when she said that
@@Stumme-40203maybe it'll be a bonus feature?
Nick Cage was easily the best part of this film, he wasn't in it enough.
I'd love to see a prequel how he got to be what he was.
And Alicia Witt, she goes from sympathetic to terrifying as we see her fall down the rabbit hole of becoming a serial killer

I will rewatch it not once, not twice, but as many times as I liiiike
They tried to put him on the cover of vogue, but his legs were too long
stop im slow but this comment made me realize, is that why he’s out of frame most of the time?!!!
What's on the menu? 🤣
Lmaoo
i love that scene “daddy, that gross guy is back again” DADDDYYYYYYY MOMMYYYYYYYY
Director: which character do you wanna play?
Nic Cage: yes
His performance reminds me of Salad Fingers a bit
I love Salad Fingers
Hubert Cumberdale...
OMG, definitely!!!
Nicolas Cage plays the role of a psychopath perfectly.
The thing is, he isn’t even really a psychopath because of the shoehorned supernatural angle. This film would have been vastly improved without it

.....what
I just want them to release nic cage singing happy birthday for 24 minutes
I love how he asked the pharmacy girl when her birthday was, as if maybe he could afford to have a doll sent to her house as well....
I think he had a crush on her. Going "cuckoo, cuckoo!" to a girl is one of his terms of endearment. 😏
I like that one single interaction with a passive aggressive teenage girl made him have a full on meltdown in his car
Some people theorize he was a failed glam rock singer who became obsessed with fame and sold his soul to Satan to acquire everlasting pleasure/fortune as a server of the Mr. Downstairs. He was also obsessed with staying young and got clearly botched plastic surgery, hence his look. The doll making was another way for him to create “perfection”, have control of the external. Idk. I know people were disappointed in this film but his character arc is fun to decipher.
“My friend that lives downstairs.”
“Downstairs from where?”
As if the line could’ve been any less subtle already.
Honestly??? The makeup for him was perfect. His face is so unrecognizable. Voice? Well yeah that's a given, that's him alright, but the face?? Perfect.
Funny fact. Nic Cage didnt actually sign on for this movie. He was vacationing in the area and just walked on set to talk to the kid actors and they just rolled the camera
the high pitched moments in his screams is the demon manipulating him seething through
nah it’s just Nick Cage being Nick Cage
@@cinemintfr thats just him normaly
Good for him…
@@cineminthe didn't know there was a camera in his car. That's just what he says after his work is done. One sympathizes
Actually I think it was just him...he'd had enough. He wanted it to end.
Why is his character weirdly cute in a really weird way
Once again, Nic Cage being the best part of a movie that you’d never remember otherwise. Gotta give the man credit, he knows how to take nothing and make it genuinely entertaining
He’s the only reason I saw the film. “Nick Cage as a serial killer” was such a strong selling point
I really liked the movie with or without nic cage. With nic cage everything is better though
People find this funny but i swear to god i met people exactly like this
People who needed psychiatric help but never got it, specially church ladies, and my aunt in particular
I was watching this movie with some friends and as soon as Long Legs said “You can even call him Mr.Downstairs” I bursted out laughing
_Who are you calling "goofy", almost birthday girl? Cuckoo, cuckoo!_

what if his name was short legs and he lost his shins in korea
When he was screaming/singing in the car it reminded me of kick-ass when he’s screaming attacks to hitgirl
TAKE COVER CHIIILD!!!
Absolutely!! FIIIIIIGHT CHIIIILD RIIIIISEEEE
Now SWIIIIIIITCH! - TO KRYPTONAAAAAAIIIIIIIIITE!
DADDY THAT GROSS GUY IS BACK AGAIN
His performance was more comedic than creepy/scary tbh
Because the movie was supposed to be a farce. It's making fun of the Satanic Panic.
@@christopherhelton6999 your recital of the mainstream media jargon , doublespeak , phraseology takes nothing away from the fact that evil exists lol
It depends from person to person. Line between creepy and ridiculous is thin. That's probably why so many have a lot of mixed reactions.

Why does he sound like stewie from family guy in the car 😭
I think he was really creepy in this movie.
Release the 24 minutes birthday song.
Long legs stole
The Declaration of Independence!
Didn't know how much I missed a nic cage movie.
I was genuinely freaked out by him the first time I watched this, the second time I watched it I couldn't stop laughing
Nick cage has transcend genre, he can make horror so entertaining and fun just for being himself!

glad I'm not the only one that thought this was the least scary antagonist I've ever seen, this guy's hilarious😂
1:55 i don't know why but that phrase and the framing of a character cracked me up so hard 😂😂
This video should renamed “Nic Cage being Nic Cage for 2 minutes” 😂😂😂😂
"The film wasn't good in the first place" this video clearly contradicts that
honestly, to me, he sings pretty good especially when hes in that car doing almost a death metal growl, he's italian (on his dads side) and german, polish, english & scottish mixed (most italians are gifted with a singing voice) through his dad, he's the nephew of francis ford coppola, and cousin to sofia coppola (who directed marie antionette (that has kirsten dunst in it)

Epic performance and Epic character in a great movie
Great movie he gave me the chills in every scene he was in
"Get It On" is an absolute banger of a song, though.
"mr downstairs" thats the dumbest shit😂
He nailed it if that’s what they were going for lol.
Daddyyyyyyy mooooomyyyyyyy
Nicolas Cage saved Longlegs lol
The best!!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great movie!!
Where’s the bit where he’s like “I’ve got my long legs on”? In a sing song voice? 😂
Dang it, I should have added that
Theres no freaking way they used Bang a Gong (Get it ON) by TREX as the ending credit music lmao

Nah it's funny

God help me but it was kinda sexy
...that's it?
I have never heard of this movie but I am now uncomfortable lol
