Longlegs
Of course Tumblr would be obsessed with this movie, look at these two autistic ass characters neurodiverging all over this film.

Longlegs (2024) theory (Spoilers)
Lee kills Ruby in the end and then herself, completing the triangle.
It wouldn't make sense for Lee to follow Longlegs' footsteps as the triangle would have been finished.
When Longlegs first targeted Lee, Lee seemingly did not have a father. Longlegs' modus operandi is that the father would kill his wife and daughter before offing himself. When Longlegs returned to threaten Ruth; that he would kill Lee or Ruth joins him, it implies that Longlegs will be established as the "father" of Lee if he kills her, and therefore Longlegs will have to off himself afterwards to follow the modus operandi, which may leave the triangle incomplete in the process.
Ruth agreeing to join Longlegs would allow Longlegs to make a long term plan that in the future, will also take out Lee and Ruth, as well as himself, which will follow the modus operandi as well as neatly complete the triangle.
Longlegs, Ruth and presumably Lee then dies in the opposite order, with Longlegs dying first and then Ruth and Lee.
Osgood Perkins is a great director, but he seriously needs a good screenwriter.
