Longlegs

Before I get into this review let me preface this by saying I love all kinds of horror movies. This is a religious horror movie of course, if you couldn't see that from the trailers and promotional materials for it. I came into the movie without knowing anything besides Nic Cage was in it. And sorry to disappoint some people but he is not in it that much, but you do feel his presence the entire movie. From the first scene to the very end you feel his unnerving aura. Now to get into the meat of the movie. On first watch a lot of things will be very hard to understand at times. I feel as I will need another watch to get the full picture. But by the end of the movie you will understand it. On the scale of predictability I'd give it a 4. Some things were very obvious while others were left pretty ambiguous which I really enjoyed. The movie has also been recognized online for being one of the scariest movies, which I kind of agree with, a lot of the cinematography has you on your toes along with the sound design and music. The characters have multiple layers and the gore, although scarce is really effective and will have you looking away if you are quite squeamish. The acting was also top notch in this film and everyone can keep up with Nic Cage, which is typically rare for his newer movies. Overall I think you should watch this in theaters while you can, it's one hell of a ride.
