I wrote an essay about LONGLEGS and the state of American horror. angelicabastien.substack.com/p/longlegs-e...

Longlegs Exemplifies American Horror’s Inability to Speak to the Moment

Longlegs is only the skin of a good film.

if you like the piece consider sharing it or donating a lil something something to my venmo if you’re able 🩵

After disliking The VVitch and Hereditary quite a bit and finding Longlegs just okay, I'm starting to realise that maybe I just don't find Satanic/religious shit scary in the slightest. It feels like the original Exorcist did it right and no one else has cracked it.

great piece! really articulates a lot of what I felt finishing this film

I haven't seen it yet, but really appreciated this essay & how it made me think about narrative strategies and "airlessness" in horror/storytelling.
