Movies that feel likeLonglegs (2024)

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.

If you loved Longlegs, the closest films we have are The Blackcoat's Daughter (2017), The Medium (2021) and Final Destination Bloodlines (2025). All three share Longlegs' dread and unsettling feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
