About the film:
FBI agent Lee Harker is a gifted new recruit assigned to the unsolved case of an elusive serial killer. As the case takes complex turns, unearthing evidence of connections to occult practices, Harker discovers a personal connection to the merciless killer and must race against time to stop him before he strikes again.
“Longlegs gets under your skin and stays there, immersing you so thoroughly in the repulsive, discomforting nature of evil through terrifying imagery and a tactile atmosphere that it’s unshakable.”
—Meagan Navarro, Bloody Disgusting
About the filmmaker:
Starting out as a child actor, Oz Perkins’s career took off when he was nine years old. In the early stages of his Hollywood career, Perkins acted in comedies like Six Degrees of Separation (1993), Legally Blonde (2001), and Not Another Teen Movie (2001). He worked in series television while getting his start in acting, including a part on Alias. Perkins’s first feature as a director was The Blackcoat’s Daughter (2015), which premiered at the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival. He has since directed the features I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House (2016) and Gretel & Hansel (2020), and an episode of the Paramount+ series The Twilight Zone. Perkins’s latest feature film, Longlegs (2024), has made waves with its uniquely unsettling marketing prior to release.
