Longlegs (2024)
Longlegs follows FBI agent Lee Harker, whose pursuit of a serial killer uncovers a series of occult clues she must solve to end his terrifying killing spree.
Scream queen Maika Monroe (It Follows) stars as Lee, with Oscar winner Nicolas Cage as the villain.
The highest-grossing independent movie of 2024, Longlegs has an 86% critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes, where it was named it the #5 Best Horror Movie of 2024.
At the 2025 Saturn Awards from the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films, writer-director Osgood Perkins won Best Screenwriting, with Longlegs also nominated for Best Horror Film and Best Supporting Actor (Cage).
AV Club says, “Longlegs will have you squirming – a triumph of tension and tone and pure nightmare fuel.”
