In the Tall Grass

2019 · 101 min

A clammy, disorienting nightmare that traps you in rustling green with time folding back on itself, more unsettling than scary.

Tagline: Some places have a mind of their own.
Overview: After hearing a child screaming for help from the green depths of a vast field of tall grass, Becky, a pregnant woman, and Cal, her brother, park their car near a mysterious abandoned church and enter the field, discovering that they are not alone and, for some reason, they are unable to escape a completely inextricable vegetable labyrinth.
How it feels: Eerie, tense, dark and bleak. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Isolation, survival, family, fate
Content: Strong violence and gore. Mild sexual content and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
