Longlegs (2024)

I find it pretty amazing that a film overcooked with different but somewhat related themes can be so sluggish and uneventful.
It's like Exorcist III without all the fun...

Re: The Season 2 Problem

Personally, I've always thought that the fourth season is the most challenging one because season 1 to 3 often shows the structure of a trilogy (even if it isn't intentionally written that way)....

No, it's not.
