Maika Monroe shining a flashlight on a piece of paper in Longlegs.
The Big Picture Easter egg culture is beginning to influence the art-house, it would seem. Neon has shared a new super-cut that collects all the scenes in Longlegs where director Osgood Perkins snuck in the actual Devil. We’re talking about a proper horned demon here, lurking behind characters in the horror-thriller’s most eerily quiet scenes — the ones where you’re expected to scan the background for any sort of sudden movement.
The super-cut urges viewers to “look closer,” as we're shown footage of characters innocently going about their business while the Devil lurks behind them. While some of these appearances are easily noticeable, others are blink-and-miss. For instance, there’s one shot in which the protagonist — Lee Harker, played by Maika Monroe — walks out of frame, and you can see the distinct outline of a horned creature in the background for a split-second.
Longlegsopened to excellent reviews, with critics praising Perkins’ command of atmosphere, and Cage’s creepy performance. The film is currently sitting at a “fresh” 86% approval rating on the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, with Collider’s Ross Bonaimedescribing it as “an uncomfortable, jarring experience that is unsettling from beginning to end.
