In The Tall Grass (2019)


Drawn by a boy's cries for help, a pregnant woman and her brother enter a vast field of tall grass without any sign that they can actually return.

A horror film in the unmistakable style of Stephen King based on a short novella written by him and his son - Joe Hill. Directed by Vincenzo Natali who is a master of the genre (Splice, various episodes of Hannibal, Locke & Key, Cube, Cypher and many more), it showcases all its trademark traits, from the very stylish nightmarish scenes, the finesse of the grass movements and the fluidity of the scenes that are linked into each other seamlessly. With a somewhat open ending, which can be interpreted according to one's own prefferred definition of a temporal paradox, In The Tall Grass is at the very least interesting.

Directed by:  Vincenzo Natali   
With: Laysla De Oliveira, Avery Whitted, Patrick Wilson, Will Buie Jr.

Rating: 7/10

  1. Asta l-am văzut în octombrie 2019, mi-a plăcut. Eu i-aș fi dat mai mult de nota 7.
