Summary

In this episode, I delve into a detailed and critical review of the movie "Long Legs." I critique it as a collection of horror movie cliches, from killer clowns to creepy dolls, expressing disappointment in the excessive use of jump scares. I highlight the lack of coherence in the plot, pointing out inconsistencies in character development and world-building. Additionally, I explore the deeper themes of single mothers making deals with the devil, drawing parallels to societal issues. I discuss the symbolism of the free dolls and the movie's ending, offering a comprehensive analysis of its thematic elements and character portrayals.

There's going to be some spoilers in this, but there's also going to be a real wallop of

insight.

0:32.7

So I'll keep this relatively brief.

0:34.5

So basically it was just a pastiche of all the cliches you could possibly come up with with regards to horror movies, right?

0:41.9

You had the killer clown, which was Nick Cage in some pancake makeup nonsense.

You had dolls, of course, the creepy dolls with the eyes opening and all that kind of stuff.

You had improbable lighting where everything's really dark, except for the beams of light coming in from outside with no particular source just to make things look.

1:12.2

Cool.

You had Christian cross-ax murderers.

You had terrifying nuns.
