Plot Summary
The Beginning
In 1974 Oregon, a young girl with a Polaroid camera follows a mysterious voice and encounters a man with pale makeup. This eerie encounter sets the stage for the film's dark narrative.
The Investigation
Twenty years later, FBI agent Lee Harker, who exhibits possible clairvoyance, is assigned to a case involving a series of murder-suicides in Oregon. Each case involves a father killing his family and himself, leaving behind a letter with Satanic coding signed "Longlegs." Lee discovers that each family had a nine-year-old daughter born on the 14th of the month, and the murders occurred within six days before or after their birthdays. These dates form an occult triangle symbol on a calendar, with one date missing.
Personal Connections
While at home, Lee receives a coded birthday card from Longlegs, warning her that revealing its source will lead to her mother's murder. Following a clue, Lee and her supervisor, William Carter, find a doll with a high-energy metal orb inside. They visit a mental hospital to question Carrie Anne Camera, the sole survivor of Longlegs's attacks. William suspects Lee has a connection to Longlegs. Discovering that Ruth, Lee's mother, had filed a police report of an intruder approaching Lee the day before her ninth birthday, William instructs Lee to talk to her. Ruth directs Lee to her childhood belongings, where she finds a Polaroid of the pale-faced man, revealing Longlegs to be the man who had visited a young Lee on her birthday. Lee submits the photo, leading to Longlegs's arrest.
The Climax
Realizing the missing date is that day, Lee fears an accomplice will carry out the final murder. In the interrogation room, Longlegs claims to serve "the man downstairs" and hints at Ruth's involvement prior to committing suicide. Lee is soon informed that Carrie has also committed suicide.
Agent Browning drives Lee to Ruth's home, where Lee witnesses Ruth kill Browning with a shotgun. Ruth then destroys a doll resembling a young Lee, causing Lee to lose consciousness. In a vision, Lee learns that Ruth has been Longlegs' accomplice since her childhood. Longlegs threatened to kill Lee unless Ruth did his bidding, and he has since lived in the Harker basement, creating Satanic dolls that Ruth, posing as a nun, delivered to households, causing the patriarchs to commit familicide. Lee's doll blocked her memories of Longlegs while influencing her with his magic.
Lee awakens in the basement and answers the phone, where a demonic voice warns her about William's daughter Ruby's ninth birthday party scheduled for that day. Lee rushes to save the Carters, whose deaths would complete Longlegs' triangle. She finds the family already possessed, with Ruth having delivered the doll. After William murders his wife Anna, Lee fatally shoots him to protect Ruby. Ruth lunges at Lee with a dagger, forcing Lee to also kill her. Lee tries to destroy the doll, but her gun does not fire. Staring at the doll, she tells Ruby they need to leave.
