Directed by Osgood Perkins, Longlegs promises to captivate audiences with its eerie themes and suspenseful storyline.

 Longlegs follows the journey of prodigal detective Agent Lee Harker (Maika Monroe) as she investigates a series of unsolved murders. As Harker delves deeper into the case, she uncovers cryptic clues left by a cunning & notorious serial killer known as 'Longlegs' (Nicolas Cage). As the investigation intensifies, Harker's pursuit of the killer becomes a dangerous game of cat and mouse, with innocent lives hanging in the balance.

In a recent interview, Maika Monroe shared insights into her portrayal of Agent Lee Harker, revealing her inspirations for the character. " Obviously, 'Silence of the Lambs' is a massive influence on this film as a whole, " Monroe explained. " But I also drew a lot from Rooney Mara's performance in 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.'
