We follow our rookie FBI agent Lee Harker's efforts to solve the mystery of serial murders with his superior Agent Carter. Behind these murders, which are committed by the fathers of normal families living in their own lives, suddenly and unprovokedly in a state of insanity, there are letters signed ‘Longlegs’ and written with satanic symbols. The film immerses itself at this point and maintains this excitement. The answers found as the film progresses do not clear your confusion, on the contrary, it drags you into the events just like our main character Lee, because the murderer is not at home in any of the murders and there is not the slightest clue other than satanic letters; the only common point is birthdays and the devil.


Will Longlegs turn into a detective horror classic film?

At the end of the day, Longlegs is the best detective horror film we have seen in recent years with its successful sound design, interesting story, cinematography and tremendous acting. Also film shocked the box office according to Variety news. Even if it may not turn into a classic in the future, it will remain a special for horror film lovers.
