How to Survive: Longlegs (2024)

How to Survive is now on Patreon! Support us at Patreon.com/HowtoSurvivePod to get every episode one week early, plus monthly bonus episodes and more. It's episode 293…and I'm sorry, it seems I wore my long legs today. Longlegs (2024) follows FBI agent Lee Harker, who is assigned to the case of a serial killer who is apparently responsible for compelling several patriarchs to murder their families across multiple decades, with the only trace being cryptic letters signed 'Longlegs'. Can Agent Harker prevent more murders, and will Longlegs' origins prove to be closer to home than she thinks?  We talk about the horror movie dubbed 'the scariest film of the decade', the highs and lows of a film that wants to be both arthouse and popcorn, a creepy character that evokes Old Gregg and Jennifer Coolidge, the importance of getting out of the car and whether investigating your own mum counts as a conflict of interest. Plus, isn't it annoying when Satan inverts a trend? All of which leads to one question: How would you survive? Whatever happens, one thing's for sure: Our prayers protect us from the devil. Next time on the main feed, it's the concluding part of Ti West's X trilogy with MaXXXine (2024), while over on the Patreon we're watching I Saw The TV Glow (2024).
