"Longlegs" was one of the surprise hits of 2024. This thriller horror movie was made on a budget of less than $10 million but went on to score over $126 million at the box office, becoming the highest-grossing film for distributor Neon in the U.S.
It also happens to be pretty darn good. The movie starts almost as an homage to "The Silence of the Lambs," something writer/director Osgood Perkins says he intentionally used as inspiration for the film's opening half. But it then turns from a serial killer thriller into a truly horrifying Satanic horror film and it's this part of the movie that will really have you on the edge of your seat.
