Why didn’t the Apple Vision Pro appeal to filmmakers?

The plot of “Longlegs”

Long legs FBI Agent Lee Harker, a talented new recruit assigned to a cold case involving a serial killer known as “Longlegs.” Longlegs targets families whose daughters were born on the 14th and leaves cryptic and satanic coded messages at the crime scenes.

As Lee investigates further, he uncovers a series of occult clues and disturbing discoveries that suggest a connection between the murders and his own past. Lee is able to decipher the messages, and we learn that this may be because Longlegs is connected to his past, when he visited her as a child but spared her, even though she was born in the 14th century.

Lee must race against time to decipher the clues and stop Longlegs before he kills another innocent family. Eventually, she discovers that Longlegs must have an accomplice for these murders. She manages to capture Longlegs with the help of other FBI agents, but during her interrogation with him, he commits suicide.

The clues he gives her lead her home, where she discovers that her mother actually works with Long legsand he’s been living in her basement forever. Turns out they put the spirit of Satan into dolls that she then delivered to them, and it convinced the people inside the houses to kill themselves and their families.

Her mother does this because she agreed to do these horrible things to save her daughter’s life when she was a child. All these repressed memories come back to Lee, as her mother explains how this happened to her. Lee’s mother uses the satanic doll to knock her out. Then she goes to Lee’s boss’s house whose child’s birthday is on the 14th.

Lee tries to stop her, but when she arrives, the doll is already possessed by the father who kills the mother. Lee manages to shoot her mother and her boss but she runs out of bullets before she can shoot the doll.

The film ends on a cliffhanger, leaving us wondering if Lee can shake the devil and save the girl, or if the doll will drive her to commit suicide and kill the child.

Longlegs Ending Explanation

The end of Long legs leaves much to the viewer’s interpretation.

As I said above, after a harrowing investigation, FBI agent Lee Harker discovers that her own mother has been Longlegs’ accomplice for the past few decades, helping him murder ten families using custom-made satanic dolls. In a devastating final confrontation, Lee is forced to kill her mother to prevent further harm, realizing that she made this horrible sacrifice to save Lee’s life.

But with the Satanic doll still in play, Lee is out of bullets. She remains staring at the doll while holding the girl’s hand. This ambiguous ending leaves questions about whether the cycle of evil has truly ended or whether Lee, now potentially influenced by the doll and Longlegs, will continue his sinister legacy and murder the child, and perhaps herself.

The film ends with a sense of unease, suggesting that the darkness they’ve faced may not be entirely defeated. What really resonates is that it raises the question of whether evil can truly be defeated.
