Longlegs

We recently watched long legs and that turned out to be too scary for Her.

I feel that this can become another Longlegs situation where people aren't satisfied with the reason behind the mystery after all the hype

It comes up, but far less than Longlegs or Cuckoo, both of which are objectively worse films.

There's more characterization in this scene than literally the entirely of *Longlegs*.

This kept ringing true the more *Longlegs* continued its descent into silly contrivances, with four separate plot elements that all feel as though they could've independently been the vessel for a story; the mother being forced to make a pact with the killer (which in itself is already absurd; the idea that maybe she would've turned a blind eye towards *one* as a way to save her daughter would've been interesting and slightly believable, but the idea that she ends up taking this gig for twenty years is laughably dumb).

The biggest issue with the film is that it seems more intent on capturing the "ambience" and "vibe" of the genre, which it admittedly does well, but once you actually realize how thin the story is and how little there are to any of these characters, it begins to resemble the turkey from *Christmas Vacation* turning into dust.
