Longlegs

In a cold, rain‑slick landscape where every shadow seems to whisper, an FBI agent with an unsettling gift is drawn into a case that feels more like a ritual than an investigation. Lee Harker is known for her sharp instincts, but when she is reassigned to track a series of baffling symbols left at crime scenes, her latent psychic abilities become both a tool and a burden. The city itself feels like a character—its mute streets and flickering neon signs echoing the uneasy feeling that something ancient and concealed prowls just out of sight.

The investigation pulls Lee into a clandestine world where occult markings and cryptic codes suggest a hidden agenda far beyond ordinary criminal motives. As she delves deeper, the line between reality and the unseen blurs, and each clue feels like a piece of a larger, incomprehensible puzzle. The atmosphere is drenched in tension, balancing the stark procedural rigor of federal law enforcement with the unsettling allure of the occult.

Around her, personal ties add further complexity. Her seasoned supervisor, Agent Carter, offers a steady, if weary, presence, while his family—wife Anna and daughter Ruby—represent a fragile normalcy that Lee is desperate to protect. Their upcoming birthday celebration looms as a quiet oasis amid the mounting dread, hinting at moments of ordinary life that could be shattered at any instant.

Set against a backdrop of dimly lit interrogation rooms, abandoned houses, and symbols that seem to pulse with hidden meaning, the film weaves a mood of relentless suspense. Lee must race against an invisible clock, decoding the twisted messages before the unseen hand behind them strikes again, turning every revelation into a gamble for her own survival.
