Movie Review Longlegs

Longlegs (2024)

Directed by Osgood Perkins 

Written by Osgood Perkins 

Starring Maika Monroe, Nicolas Cage, Alicia Witt, Blair Underwood 

Release Date July 12th, 2024 

Published July 12th, 2024 

Longlegs stars Maika Monroe as FBI Agent Lee Harker. Relatively new to the FBI, one of Harker's first field experiences was seeing her partner murdered right in front of her. This came immediately after she had advised her partner that the man they were looking for, a dangerous serial murderer, was in a house she'd seemingly identified at random. Is she psychic? Is this a premonition? How did she manage to pick the one house out of a cookie cutter neighborhood, as the one where the killer was staying? 

Harker's premonition and her subsequent capture of the killer, brings Harker to the attention of FBI Boss, Carter, played by Blair Underwood. Carter is after an even more dangerous and unpredictable killer who has claimed the name Longlegs in his seemingly nonsensical letters to law enforcement. Longlegs has been tormenting the FBI since the late 1960's, annihilating entire families without even stepping foot inside the family home. The film is set in the early to mid-90s, for context.
