Surely the scariest horror movie you’ll see this year.
It states its intentions right away. The first minutes of Longlegs—surely the scariest movie you’ll see this year—involve a rural road, a station wagon, and a little girl who encounters an unexpected man in her front yard. The sequence is eerie and then, all at once, it’s terrifying—and represents only the first of the jolts and shocks to come. That little girl will grow up to be Lee Harker, an FBI agent played with mesmerizing control by Maika Monroe, whom you may barely recognize here.
“When you talk to me, the type of person that I am—I’m very different from this role,” Monroe says. “But this is my job. I’m an actor. My job is to transform and change.” Her tape won her the part. “And I really appreciated that: that I had to work and prove it not only to him, but to myself.” Wardrobe helped too. Longlegs is set in the Pacific Northwest, mostly in 1993, and Harker is dressed to match the woodsy, overcast atmosphere: beige suits, cream blouses, dark, flat hair.
