In the Tall Grass

This movie was such a mindf*ck, not at all what I expected but definitely not disappointing. If you expect jump scares and gore than this is not the movie you're looking for. This was thrilling and confusing at times. For me, this is one of those movies that I wish I could watch again for the first time. Very cool.

Really enjoyed it. For it’s a change its a complete change to your typical horror. Was an original concept with no guesses of what happens next. Lots of twists.

Excellently done and brilliant acting.

One of my favourite horrors, I’ve seen in a long time. I love horror films. I don’t normally comment, but this deserved the recognition. Excellent film!

9/10
Superb
Absolutely Superb.
This Awesome movie ticked all the boxes, and it was so bloody interesting and so well written I could have sat through another hour of it easily. What I mind bending, time warping, Alternate going-on's this hidden gem of a movie is.
I love everything this movie brought to the table,
it's my absolute favourite kinda stories so
this one was always going to be a win,win
for me anyway
and the fact it is a
Stephen King story,
well It's a win,win,win.
Great acting all around and that kid actor was brilliant,
A good range of emotions and very believable.
Obviously the man himself Wilson knocked it out the ball park, he adds so much to his horror roles and he is definitely a seasoned vet.
I loved Becky i was rooting for her from the beginning, the boyfriend surprised me and I actually really liked him but I could not stand that weird creepy ass brother,
he definitely brought my enjoyment of the movie down as he annoyed me so much and I just wanted him dead over and over and over again.
Everytime he was on screen he just pissed me off. That being said I guess his acting was on point to make me feel this way in the first place.
I still hate his creepy cowardly ass, I definitely knew (there was something off about him from the beginning,
theirs loving your sister
then loving your sister...eww).

X FINAL THOUGHT
This Awesome movie definitely takes after
one of my all time favourites
which is a movie called
"TRIANGLE"
Which is super frickin Awesome 10/10 by the way so when I heard about this one I was very excited
to see it and it certainly did not disappoint.
In fact I loved it that much
even though I have it on
Netflix I've just bought the extended cut for
50 pounds on
Blu Ray so yes I think it's safe to say I rather
enjoyed this one Lol.
This Movie is well worth you're Time...ha time...sorry it's one of them that keeps you thinking all the way through and messes with your mind while doing it,
But in a really really fun and entertaining way.
Two Thumbs up
"Loved It"

I look very much forward to watching
this time and time and time again,
Especially now it's apart of
"My Multiverse Archives".

The first half is definitely better than the second, but it's still a cut above many cookie cutter chillers out there. Will give you the incentive to mow your lawn too.

You will either love it or hate it. This is a movie of this type. Don’t let low or high rate fool you. Better see it for yourself

I can understand the negative reviews but I genuinely enjoyed watching this movie. Just go in, let the twists surprise you and enjoy the ride!

I read the short story. It’s creepy and messed up but there’s not enough to it for a movie. There’s a creepy boy named Tobin, a special rock that changes people and tall grass. People get lost in for good.
The movie is faithful, yet it adds more to a story that didn’t make much sense. I liked the movie more even if it’s not perfect.
Patrick Wilson (The Conjuring) giving a fine nutty performance is definitely an upside.

There's a good concept. People trapped in an always changing labyrinth of grass.
Visually it's great, the moving grass and close up look awesome.
Patrick Wilson is very good (specially when [spoiler]crazy[/spoiler])
And in general I like stuff about [spoiler]time loops and paradoxes[/spoiler].

So on average it's pretty entertaining with good ideas.

However there are some issues with the story and timeline, and I was pretty disappointed they were not really taken into account at the end. Having gone to read the novel's summary afterwards, I can tell that pretty much everything that annoyed me was not in the original story and they were added in the movie in a way that don't quite fit. Mainly, the fact that the field [spoiler]moves people in time as well as space is not in the original story[/spoiler].

[spoiler]First, some characters appear and disappear without reason, sometimes in their main timeline version, sometimes in their future selves version. Specially Tobin. I mean he's just standing there with them. They move around, no one paying attention whether the kid is following or not (wtf!). So you don't see him, assume he either did not come, or just followed and was not shown. And then future Tobin pops up instead out of nowhere.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]The fact that Travis shows up 2 months later and ends up in the same loop, plus that he is the one that gets Tobin's family in the loop, going full circle, is a great idea. But then it make sit weird that most of the time people are not moved in time, only space, and spend lot of time looking for each other while being in the same time.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]Future Tobin is weird. He touched the rock, but we don't know when, and he seems less affected than his father.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]When Travis finally touches the rock, he is affected, however he still prioritizes saving his girlfriend over, you know, killing her like Ross did. And now how fucked up is this that he uses the kid to save his girlfriend, instead of the kid's family.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]Not sure about the concept of "holes" to escape. It kinda implies that they are switching around in places by moving around. But the fields moves things even if they are not moving around, like when they jump twice on the same spot but are in different places[/spoiler].

[spoiler]Not sure how the paradox works. It's implied that they are getting killed over and over and that things happen several times in a loop. However when Becky does the phone call to her past self, it doesn't make much sense, she hasn't see any looping. The dead body of Becky's first version is shown, so it exists at some point in time, but we can suppose Travis' arrival changes that, creating an alternative. Then shouldn't there be a lot more versions of them, both alive and dead ? There should also be consequences on the final exit of Tobin's.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]And... shouldn't there be more people ? Like all the people to ever interact with the field should always be crossing each other in time and space ? Unless the field -- well I keep saying the field but I guess it's actually the rock -- manages to keep separate loops for the people that know each other ?[/spoiler]

[spoiler]They should not have left the field. The fact that they can get out and be in a building on the other side of the road makes no sense.[/spoiler]


[spoiler]Minor detail, but I would have liked to know when Tobin's family fit in the timeline (the outside world's timeline). We know Travis came after Cal and Becky, but there's no indication of when the family arrived. Importantly if they actually arrived after Cal and Becky, they would be two Tobins in the outside world at the end of the movie, extending the field's paradox to the outside.[/spoiler]

it seemed a bit silly bc it’s just grass, but i’m a real fan of the whole [spoiler]killing loop trope[/spoiler] in general. it’s sorta edgy, so if you’re not into that you might not like it. [spoiler]totally sure that guy wanted to bang his sister tho. in the intro i thought he was the baby daddy at first, then travis mentioned it too. idk, man, just throwing that out there[/spoiler]

If it’s faithful to the short story. Expect it to be disturbing and fucked up.
