English It's actually a good thing the novella on which this film was based hasn't been published here yet, because I couldn't/didn't compare it to the source material and could "just" be surprised and entertained. And there was definitely something to enjoy! At first the viewer thinks "Oh, so some variation of Children of the Corn?", but that's a big mistake, because the film turns out to be something completely different. Better. Before it was over, I knew I would have to watch it again soon, and that doesn't happen all that often. It's another great addition to the family of films produced in 2019 based on Stephen King’s work (actually, more like Joe Hill, since I mostly saw his handwriting in the story). ()

English I am telling myself that if Netflix wanted to break through in something, it would be the horror genre. Based on Stephen King’s book, directed by a director from the list of Americans who now own this genre, actors with unfamiliar names cast as main characters and what’s more, with Patrick Wilson. I have to admit that In the Tall Grass creates a proper atmosphere. It is a pity that it is such a crap. ()

English The Canadian production In the Tall Grass is not badly made. There are some interesting shots. The practical effects aspect is very well executed when it comes to the practical effects aspect. It is scary and quite hardcore at times. However, the narrative failed to captivate me, I was not entertained, and I was bored by it. Also, I do not want to see Patrick Wilson in roles like this, and I guess I like him too much for that.

English First of all, I really disliked that awful visual and camera - digital grass, really? The intertwining of timelines was interesting, but in the end it didn't bring anything that would make the viewer sit on their ass - everything was topped off by an unsatisfactory resolution. In the Tall Grass is essentially a twenty-minute short needlessly stretched out to 101 minutes, in which Patrick Wilson portrays the worst role of his career so far. I haven't read the source material yet, but I will probably choose other King adaptations more carefully, since this one didn't really interest me - and I do like minimalist films/horror. But this strange mix between Cube and Children of the Corn didn't appeal to me in any way. Actually, I don't even know why, but I expected more from Natali. ()

English A fairly gratifying storyline about a cursed field where several people get lost, only to collide in various ways and have strange things happening to them. And there’s plenty of strange things happening, thanks to which you don’t have much chance to get bored. Though, on the other hand, it all starts to look quite random, like a bizarre bric-a-brac that is never explained. If someone wants to dig deeper into it, they can blast the film with a clear conscience. But I had fun, I don’t care. ()
