But what truly sets ‘Longlegs’ apart is its bold experimentation with the horror genre. Perkins is not afraid to push boundaries and challenge his audience, resulting in a film that is both unconventional and unforgettable.
In the end, ‘Longlegs’ is a testament to the power of horror to disturb and provoke. With its shocking twists and turns, it’s a film that will leave you on the edge of your seat, wondering what’s real and what’s just a product of your own fevered imagination.
