Plot

'Longlegs' tells the story of a new FBI agent with great potential, Lee Harker, who is assigned a case involving a serial killer who leaves clues of occultism. "Longlegs," the nickname of the criminal in question, challenges logic as well as morality while misleading the agent with his macabre and unexpected rituals.

But what seems like an ordinary case becomes personal for Harker when she discovers an unexpected connection to the killer through her investigations. She will have to do everything possible to try to stop him before he commits another heinous murder.

The film is a psychological thriller and horror written and directed by Oz Perkins ('Gretel & Hansel'), ('NOP'). The plot is set in the 1990s and stars Maika Monroe ('God's Bullet'), ('The Guest') as Lee Harker and Nicolas Cage ('In the Shadow of the Moon'), ('Blind Fury') as Longlegs.

The main cast also includes actors and actresses Alicia Witt ('I Care a Lot') as Ruth Harker, Blair Underwood ('Quantico') as Agent Carter, and Kiernan Shipka ('Chilling Adventures of Sabrina') as Carrie Anne. It is produced by Saturn Films (Cage's production company) and distributed by NEON.

Trivia

Concealment of the main character

Director Oz Perkins did not want to show Nicolas Cage in either the promotional posters or the trailer (even though he plays the killer in question) so that viewers would feel the fear of discovering the character on the big screen.

References to a real killer

Many of the killer's encrypted messages have spelling and grammar mistakes on purpose to refer to the "Zodiac Killer," known for his coded messages with typos that made it even more difficult to decipher his message.

Similarities with other films

The audience that was invited to preview the premiere of the film compared the images of 'Longlegs' with those of 'Silence of the Lambs', 'Cure', 'Zodiac' and 'Seven'.
