Osgood Perkins’ Longlegs is a movie that’ll stick with you long after you’ve seen it. How do I know? Because it’s been haunting me ever since I watched it. Right after the film ended, I was blown away by its intense atmosphere and incredible performances. But even more, the movie just wouldn’t let go. While I didn’t have nightmares, I kept thinking about Nicolas Cage’s terrifying transformation and the story’s disturbing twists and turns. Within a week, I found myself wanting to see it again. I’ve already watched it twice and plan to go for a third round soon

Plot Overview

In Longlegs, Maika Monroe plays Lee Harker, a young FBI agent in Oregon during the Clinton administration. After a surprising bit of psychic intuition leads her to capture a fugitive, her bosses, Agents Carter (Blair Underwood) and Browning (Michelle Choi-Lee), think her skills might help solve a baffling case.

The crimes happen on a child’s birthday, and the killer leaves cypher-written letters signed[ “Longlegs.”]
