Longlegs

Osgood Perkins' obsession with girls is noted once again. And the mandatory trope to associate Christianity with the (dark) occult is also something to be noted once again.

When a father brutally murders his family, it is made sure that a big fat crucifix remains visible and prominent. This was no accident.

But there's another typical Hollywood theme: families murdering each other. In this movie it gets more blatant as all of the affected families were happy, stable families. Only detective Lee's family just happens to have a single mother. But she was a loving mother and rest assured that the movie didn't like that fact.

The movie in itself isn't that bad, just a tad too slow. Halfway or so I had enough and could use a little break. Too little is happening. Too little progress is made. You can stuff a movie full of mysterious clues, but its effect wears out.

It's beyond me that in this information-age many people still do not see that many movies and cartoons aren't here solely for your enjoyment and to make money: it's equally about messaging and conditioning the masses, keeping them in certain states. Once you see, you can't unsee and will notice increasingly more.
