As a seasoned gamer and horror movie enthusiast, I have seen my fair share of disturbing and thought-provoking films. But Longlegs, directed by Oz Perkins, has left me utterly speechless and questioning the very fabric of humanity.
Warning: This article reveals significant details about the ending of the Longlegs movie.
In the thrilling movie I recently watched, I followed FBI agent Lee Harker, portrayed brilliantly by Maika Monroe, as she relentlessly hunted down the notorious satanic killer known as Longlegs, played by the charismatic Nicolas Cage. As the investigation unfolded, I saw Lee uncover a shocking truth: Longlegs hadn’t been working alone. This chilling revelation came to light when Longlegs met his own demise in a gruesome and unexpected way – by violently crashing his head onto a table, taking his life.
As a seasoned crime journalist with years of experience under my belt, I’ve seen it all – but nothing quite compares to the chilling case of Longlegs and his accomplice, Ruth. I was taken aback when I learned that Lee’s seemingly loving mother, portrayed by the talented Alicia Witt, had been secretly working with this monstrous figure.
As I reached the final moments of the game, I uncovered a chilling revelation: Ruth had set her sights on the family of FBI agent Carter (Blair Underwood) next. In a race against time, I followed in pursuit, but just as I neared their home, something unusual occurred. Somehow, Carter and his loved ones had been brainwashed, leaving them under Ruth’s control.
According to Perkins, he offered some clues regarding the movie’s conclusion, but the majority of it remained unclear. Nevertheless, this is what Perkins shared with Variety concerning the ending of “Longlegs”:
In a sad turn of events, the tale of Lee Harker concludes with defeat for the protagonist. The devil emerges victorious once more in this small-scale skirmish. The final frame shows Lee pulling the trigger on what proves to be her most disastrous move.
From my perspective as a devoted fan, Perkins’ remarks suggest that he intended the conclusion to be filled with tragedy. This was clearly reflected in Harker’s enduring sense of guilt over her mother’s involvement in the fatal events. However, could there be more depth to this ending than initially meets the eye?
What Does the Ambiguous Ending of Longlegs Mean?
The movie ends with several unanswered questions, implying that Perkins may be reluctant to provide clarification as doing so might undermine the film’s ambiguous nature. Given that the antagonist, or the devil, has definitively triumphed in the story, and taking into account Perkins’ inspiration from Se7en’s serial killer, it is likely that the villain will persist indefinitely, potentially transforming Harker into a murderer as part of the devil’s plan.
From my gaming perspective, it seems plausible that the story doesn’t end there with Harker taking lives of Ruth and Carter. The doll left unharmed could be a chilling reminder of the serial killings to come. With Longlegs having such a profound effect on Harker since childhood, it wouldn’t be surprising if she becomes the true embodiment of evil in this twisted tale.
Longlegs is now playing in theaters.
