The opening of Longlegs and the first 30 or so minutes were really engaging.
!I especially liked the scene where Nick Cage shows up in the detective's house after she ran out to look for him.!<
The rest of the movie felt to me like it faltered pretty hard, unfortunately. One notable scene towards the end was chilling, but the narrative kind of fell apart for me. I'm curious what other people thought.
Interesting, I felt the opposite way. The first half or so seemed a bit poorly paced. The second half felt more like what I’d expect from a Cage flick, and didn’t disappoint. I can see the disparity though for sure.
I'm looking forward to seeing it, but I don't go to theaters because I have an immunodeficiency, and I'm not willing to pay theater prices to watch something on my TV at home alone. So hopefully it will be available soon at normal rental prices.
I've seen It Follows and don't even remember the opening. So I guess I probably don't agree with that one (just rewatched it and, yep, seems like pretty standard opening fare for a horror movie--nothing special). I also didn't think Midsommar's was really special, but it is at least a bit unusual.
Sinister had a very memorable opening, on the other hand. I'll have to check out The Empty Man (and Longlegs when it's available).
Edit: Nevermind. The Empty Man is only on Apple and Fubo and I don't subscribe to those, nor do I want to.

I watched it on Amazon Prime recently if that's any use. (Just checked, it's still available to rent or buy).
Oh thanks. JustWatch lied to me!
The opening of Empty Man was so good it ruined the rest of the movie for me.
