Sophia Lillis and Alice Krige lead an atmospheric tale of magic and fear
Osgood “Oz” Perkins seems on the verge of a particular kind of cinematic explosion. The director of films like The Blackcoat ’s Daughter and I Am The Pretty Thing That Lives in the House has long been a favorite among horror devotees, but with Longlegs , his latest feature starring Maika Monroe and Nicolas Cage , Perkins feels poised for a new breakthrough.
Perkins’ forest is in perpetual twilight, halfway between summer and autumn, half-dead but half-alive too, a liminal space of gold and green. When the children finally come upon the witch’s house and its companion shed, the dwelling emerges as a brutalist black blade cutting through the woods, all angles ornamented by carvings that call to mind vaguely human shapes. Inside, the walls are painted with images of the forest outside, black silhouettes of wolves and trees.
