The Silence of the Lambs. The Silence of the Lambs. The Silence of the Lambs...

I think this movie might be a bit like The Silence of the Lambs.

the investigative momentum (as well as character-centric study) of films like "The Silence of the Lambs" and "Se7en" is a big part of "Longlegs," as is the demonic dread of movies like "The Omen" and "The Exorcist."
...

Along the way, "Longlegs" evokes a number of other, more recent films as Lee delves further into the case, such as the analog dread of "Sinister" and the dogged obsession of "Zodiac."

Perkins pulls inspiration from unsettling bedfellows like SILENCE OF THE LAMBS and SEVEN to conjure his uniquely grotesque tale of sinister shenanigans that will have you sleeping with the lights on.

The story of a young agent being tapped for a big case is far from untrodden ground in Hollywood, and comparisons to Jodie Foster’s Clarice Starling in Silence of the Lambs are to be expected.

A Satanic spin on The Silence of the Lambs.

Here, Perkins creates a film akin to a modern Silence Of The Lambs, that isn’t afraid to dip into the supernatural.
