Happily enjoyed 60% this movie (I was looking away completely or staring through the tiny gaps in between my fingers for the other 40% cause wtf)

What a way to kick off the year! Huge fan of everything Eggers’ has done so far (haven’t see The VVitch yet), his visceral, historic but masterfully helmed approach to film-making is something that will definitely cement him into one of the greats if he continues.
Nosferatu takes him down that path a step further. While it is my least favourite of his so far, this is Eggers just completely taking over and being Eggers. With a story for the…
I will it, it did get a bit worse on second viewing, and now I actually think that it’s on par with the original. Yes, the movie does feel a bit rushed (imo), and there are some questionable moments here and there, but the direction and performances made up for most of that jazz. Solid sequel!
I’ve been letting this marinate a bit since last night, and honestly has maybe even grown on me just a tad. Combines so many different genres and reaches corners in storytelling that I’ve rarely ever seen before. Everyone and everything captures the era this film was set in beautifully, and don’t even get me started with the music. I’m not the biggest fan of the final act or so, but overall had a blast, it’s hard to complain.
Longlegs lacks an overall punch from the script, and its pacing throughout the runtime can feel inconsistent, especially venturing into the final act, but my gosh, does literally everything else hit the spot and stick with you. Monroe is magnetic, everything you’ve heard about Cage is true (one of the best horror performances I’ve personally ever seen), and Perkin’s direction, the sound design and cinematography all work in symphony too to create a thoroughly and deeply disturbing atmosphere you’ll find…
I should try even harder to go into movies without any expectations. That means no reviews, no videos, nothing. As dumb as these films have always been (including and especially this one), having no sense of how bad or good Dominion was all for the better.
This probably won’t age that well, but I can’t deny how great of a time this was. Personally one of the better blockbusters in recent years, and definitely my favourite of the trilogy!
Overtly maximalist and teetering on the edge of being comical… and somehow it all works for me? I dunno, this realistically shouldn’t be rated as high as this, but I think I love this franchise too much to care how insane this movie gets. I know everyone is mentioning the submarine and biplane sequence, but there’s two fight scenes that intercut with each other around the midpoint of the film that I adore just as much.
Showed this to one of my good friends - this isn’t the type of movie he usually watches so I can’t emphasise enough how elated I was when we came out and he said he dug the shit out of it. The feeling you get when you show someone you love art you love is unmatched. What more can I say about this film that hasn’t already been said though? Peak horror atmosphere, even more monumental experiencing all its glory on a 20-foot tall-ish screen.
