Ok, this was different. Ah, and there's a pregnant woman, which immediately elevates the suspense level. The film features good performances from the small cast, and has a constant foreboding atmosphere.

However, as with most Stephen King penned stories, 'In the tall grass' went from creepy and interesting, to weird and mysterious, to bizarre. It's going to be really hard describing this movie to someone. Although it will be best to see it for yourself, I honestly can't really recommend the film. There are some genuinely creepy moments with effective jump scares, but ultimately the payoff just wasn't worth it.

If you're into this sort of confusing storyline, rather watch the 2009 film 'Triangle', which was similar themed but far better.

Would I watch it again? No.

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.

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.
