En la hierba alta

Stephen King - I should have known. All the ingredients are there. So as you can guess then, I have not read the novel this is based on. But I did like the basic idea/theme this is build upon. Actually the very beginning is very strong and that carries throughout the movie.

While it does that, the movie itself feels like it loses a bit of traction, once every character and piece is introduced. I can only imagine (no pun intended), how this is written and how much plays in the mind of the reader. As a movie there are limitations, especially when it comes to one dimensional portrayals - or what feels like paper thin motivation at least. Still enough suspense here and overall a good horror movie.

The trailer is enticing, the names associated is even more enticing. I saw this only cos of Patrick Wilson. Stephen King's name wasn't suffice to pull me into this purgatory. It is directed by Vincenzo Natali, the guy who gave us Cube, an awesome thriller. In this film he takes the similar concept from his previous movie Haunter which is decent compared to this.

There is unnecessary repetitive scenes of a pregnant woman screaming, irritating scenes of blurred visions, 101 mins of jus grass swaying which gets repetitive n boring. Ther is absolutely no explanation. I used to think that only Victor Crowley cud smash a person's face/head with bare hands but u have to check out a scene in this film. In some scenes, the child's acting is weak. He is seen trying to control his laughter. Mayb he was laughing at the lousy plot.

Better films on similar concept : Farmhouse, Triangle (Melissa George) n Haunter.

So, this is not by any means a ground breaking piece of cinema. That being said I found it to be rather enjoyable. I put it on at 11:30 at night thinking it would be something to fall asleep to. Let's face it, most unknown films you find randomly scrolling through netflix usually are good for a snooze and that's about it. I ended up engrossed in the film and watched it all the way to the end feeling rather involved in the story. I see a lot of people complaining about how the characters made bad decisions. This is a horror film people, horror wouldn't exist if it weren't for people making bad decisions. If characters did the smart thing in any horror film it would be about 5 minutes long. Secondly the film's ending is quite easily understood ad long as you dont need your plots soon fed to you. Solid acting, good atmosphere and an amusing if not horribly original plot. You could definitely find worse things to watch.

Well, this is one of those films that will be like marmite, you'll love it or you'll hate it. Stephen King is unpredictable at best and he delivers again with this movie. I would love to say that you will watch it from start to end and know and understand the story line and meaning of the film but I'd be lying. It keeps you wondering and guessing throughout and gets weirder as it progresses. Yet, I was compelled to keep watching. I think it's interesting and has a deeper connection and meaning to life and the choices we make or should have made. Watch it and make up your own mind, but I loved it! My other half however, was asleep within the first 45 minutes. Like I said Marmite.... enjoy!

First of all i didnt read the book. so if you wanna read a review that based on the book my review is not for you. second, i saw lots of negative comments and when i checked those writers some of them never wrote a review before and they created accounts recently. it is like they are anti marketing the movie.

In the Tall Grass starts pretty quick and leaves no time for audience to get bore. the movie grows more and more after each twisted turning point of events. it had suspense, mystery and twists. i like the acting from everyone and generally child actors at horror movies annoys me but Tobin (Will Buie Jr. ) did nice job for a child actor.

Lightning and effects were good so you see some mysteries. the movie doesnt have a gore fest but i felt like im in the edge to see whats going on, and each time some twist happens. i love that affect on me.

the movie is not a cheap gore fest it just builds a mysterious events and goes from there, and like many Stephen King novels the ending wont explain you so much either. so it was not a surprise for me.

i would highly recommend to mystery-thriller fans this movie but as i said earlier i didnt read the book so i cant compare with the source material. so maybe my review also not that suitable for some
