Maika Monroe as Lee Harker in a library in Longlegs custom image

Summary Longlegs director Oz Perkins is opening up about the movie's ominous title. Starring Maika Monroe and Nicolas Cage, the movie follows Monroe's FBI agent Lee Harker as she investigates a series of mysterious murder-suicides. Harker quickly begins to uncover a Satanic plot that has been plaguing her family since she was a little girl. The movie was released on July 12 and has already doubled its under-$10 million budget.

I don't know if it has meaning or not. It doesn't have meaning. I like words, and it's a good word. It sounds good. It sounds sort of scary but also sort of fun. It sounds pure. It sounds like '70s to me. It sounds like something that maybe Robert Plant would have sung in a Zeppelin song. It has an old pin-up quality to it. It invokes a certain time, I suppose, and there's an awkwardness to it that he has, that the character has sort of an uneasy clumsiness to him.
