Nic Cage in this movie plays the kind of moaning, groaning, raving, raging, screamin and hollerin psycho freak that I'm becoming after living with stitches in my mouth for 2 weeks. We must have the same dentist, because he's really good at these kind of performances. This is literally me, standing in the snow with my mouth hanging open, freaking people out with my inhuman wailing. I'm the new Christmas monster.
Sadly, his welcome presence in the film is oversold by the promotional material. Despite being the main antagonist and clearly the most interesting weirdo you've ever seen, he maybe has 10 minutes of screen time total. Yeah, it's one of those artsy movies where instead of following the deranged nut who's actually cool, we have to spend the whole flick with the mopey FBI girl following his clues.
This movie wants very badly to be Silence of The Lambs, but i wish it didn't. I'd rather axe the FBI chick entirely and just have the whole movie be about Longlegs going around doing freaky Nic Cage stuff and scaring the hell out of people. I'd watch a 3 hour cut of that.
