Longlegs wins for imagery and atmosphere. The creative shots, the sound design, and the theme all work together to make the film horrific and effective. Where it falls short is in the connection with the villain and insight into his character. Knowing there's a monster in the closet is scary, but feeling their motivations can turn your blood ice cold. This film has none of the latter.
