Writer-Director Oz Perkins On Conjuring Up Scares For Cult Horror-Thriller ‘Longlegs’: “I’m The Only Arbiter Of What’s Good”

DEADLINE: The films that you’ve written and directed, I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House and The Blackcoat’s Daughter, including Longlegs too, focus on women who experience a tragedy or a trauma combined with supernatural elements.
