Our take

Longlegs is a slow occult horror about an FBI recruit on a serial-killer case. You get family murders, a stabbing described in detail, some f-word language, and girls in the homes that are targeted. Suicide sits in the case file beside the killings. Older teens and adults

Story (may spoil tone)

FBI Agent Lee Harker is a gifted new recruit assigned to the unsolved case of an elusive serial killer. As the case takes complex turns, unearthing evidence of the occult, Harker discovers a personal connection to the merciless killer and must race against time to stop him before he claims the lives of another innocent family.

Talk after watching

  • The case keeps getting stranger. When is enough information too much for a young viewer?
  • Families are the victims. How do you talk about that without the details?
