The Big Picture In what many audiences describe as the scariest film of the year, Osgood Perkins' latest vision Longlegs lives up to the hype created by its rather ambiguous marketing campaign. In fact, the feelings of ambiguity are immediately felt by audiences when watching the film, as the opening scene offers a cryptic and haunting depiction of Lee Harker’s first meeting with the ghastly-looking killer Longlegs .
The decision to provide little to no context during the opening sequence ultimately becomes an integral driver for the film's plot, as a majority of the story involves understanding how the horrific events of that day led to the series of murders in the present. Through Lee Harker's investigation of Longlegs' crimes, viewers learn that the opening scene was actually a depiction of a memory she had long hidden in the deepest, darkest parts of her psyche.

Osgood Perkins Reflects His Own Life In 'Longlegs' The opening scene, and the subsequent scenes that provide context around it, beautifully encapsulate Osgood Perkins' intention to mirror many of the truths from his own life in telling this story. As mentioned before, the scene is shot in a 4:3 ratio, and aspects of the production design evoke the vibes of a '90s family home video.
