'Longlegs' is the story of a serial killer, and it follows the journey of eccentric detective agent Lee Harker as she investigates a series of unsolved murders. As Harker delves deeper into the case, she uncovers cryptic clues left by a cunning and notorious serial killer named Longlegs (played by Nicolas Cage). The film is the epitome of classic horror with a blend of cult fiction and surreal elements.

Sharing insight into her character, Maika Monroe said: "Obviously, 'Silence of the Lambs' is a massive influence on this movie. But I was inspired by Rooney Mara's performance in 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' Both characters feel like outsiders in their world, unsure where they fit in, yet finding purpose in solving crimes.

Director Osgood Perkins also spoke about Monroe's character, as he shared her unique abilities. He said: “Lee Harker demonstrates extraordinary intuition and mental acuity. Her perception test scores are off the charts, making her uniquely capable of uncovering mysteries.

PVRINOX Pictures is set to release 'Longlegs' on July 12.
