What is the plot of Longlegs?
Lee Harker is a rookie FBI agent whose potential clairvoyance results in her taking on a decades-spanning case involving families in murder-suicides. The serial killer behind the vicious crimes leaves a series of occult clues, which Lee must decipher to end his brutal killing spree.
As her harrowing investigation deepens, Lee’s shocking personal connection to the killer is revealed, culminating to a disturbing truth that the rookie agent will have to deal with in order to survive.
The horror film is written and directed by Osgood Perkins, while Dan Kagan, Brian Kavanaugh-Jones, Dave Caplan, Chris Ferguson, and Nicolas Cage, who plays the titular role, serve as producers.
