Maika Monroe as Lee Harker juxtaposed with a doll missing a head in Longlegs
Summary Longlegs director Oz Perkins explains how real-life events inspired the movie's dolls twist. Released in theaters earlier this month after a remarkably successful marketing campaign, the hit NEON horror stars Maika Monroe as Lee Harker, an FBI agent pursuing Nicolas Cage's Longlegs serial killer.
"With voodoo dolls, if you want to inflict power on someone, you make a doll of them, and you poke it. If you want to bring down a regime, you make an effigy of a politician, and you burn it in the streets. Puppets, effigies, sculptures, statues, dolls — that was all in the magic of the world I wanted to create.
Longlegs' Dolls Explained How The Dolls Fit Into Nicolas Cage's Killer's Plan The positive Longlegs reviews are a testament to how effectively Perkins slowly unfolds the mystery at the center of his latest horror movie, and the dolls play a crucial role in the story.
2 The Longlegs ending reveals that Lee's mother, Ruth has been playing a crucial role in Cobble's killings. She began helping Cage's killer in order to save her daughter from a dark fate, delivering his dolls to victims' homes and pretending that they were gifts from the church. The silver orbs inside the dolls' heads somehow contain Longlegs' Satanic whispers, and these whispers ultimately put a trance on the family and cause the extreme bloodshed that follows.
