Emma Roberts in The Blackcoat's Daughter
The Big Picture After an exciting and totally creepy marketing campaign, Longlegs has finally made its big-screen debut, and it's already being called one of the best horror films of 2024. The film follows possibly psychic FBI Agent Lee Harker as she attempts to solve the connection between several decades of family murder-suicides. She finds herself on the tail of the titular serial killer, Longlegs, who is provided with a nightmarish performance from the iconic Nicolas Cage.
The Blackcoat's Daughter RHorrorMysteryThriller Two girls must battle a mysterious evil force when they get left behind at their boarding school over winter break. In addition to the visual similarities, both films feature a slow-building narrative. Neither has too many jumpscares, and neither becomes oversaturated with spectacle-filled sequences. Their heavy dialogue and subtle pacing allow the nightmarish stories to seep into the viewer's skin. They deal with similar themes of Christianity and religious trauma as well. Overall, some interesting connections can be made, ones that add to the possibility of them being connected.
