What to Know

Critics Consensus

A potentially intriguing premise is rapidly lost in the weeds during In the Tall Grass which struggles to stretch its slim source material to feature length.

Netflix seems to be banging out Steven King adaptations as fast as King used to bang out books. This one, based on a novella by King and his son Joe Hill, is quite a decent little creeper too. Go to Full Review Monica Castillo Polygon 10/07/2019
While it's not the sharpest of King's stories, Natali's cast redeems the film's shortcomings. Go to Full Review Marjorie Baumgarten Austin Chronicle 10/04/2019
The performances are all solid, and writer/director [Vincenzo] Natali and cinematographer Craig Wrobleski wreaking fiendish menace from the grass jungle. Surely, they're not in Kansas anymore. Go to Full Review Julian Singleton Cinapse Jul 12
In the Tall Grass is a chilling combination of Natali’s confined style and King and Hill’s expansive love of the bizarre. Go to Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies 08/22/2022
2.5/5
There is only so much you can do with such a small amount of source material, and in compensating for that “In the Tall Grass” repeats itself too much. Go to Full Review Graeme Tuckett The Post NZ 10/22/2021
Tthis is hands-down one of silliest and funniest - unintentionally - alleged horrors I've seen in years. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Trisha M @trisha541 5d HELLO VIEWERS, BEFORE YOU GET YOURSELF IN A LOOP OF WATCHING THIS ASS MOVIE . DO NOT. I REPEAT DO NOT . THIS MOVIE WAS A WASTE OF TIME AND YOUR GONNA UNDERSTAND WHY IT HAS 33% ON THIS WEBSITE. MY FRIEND WAS DECEIVED BY A COMMENT ON INSTAGRAM ABOUT THIS MOVI, BUT IF U EREAD THIS U HAVE BEEN WARNED. THIS WAS THE WORST MOVIE I HAVE EVER WATCHED IN MY 33 YEARS OF EXISTENCE. I HAD TO WATCH IT IN 2X SPEED TO GET IT OVER WITH. TOBIN LOOKS LIKE FRICKING CGI. U MIGHT WATCH THE VISUALS AND THINK THE MOVIE WILL BE GOOD BUT IT WAS JUST LIKE BUTTCHEEKS CHANNEL. HORRIBLE ENDING AND WE ONLY GOT TO THE PLOT AT 1 HOUR 3 MINUTES. MY TWIN AND I COULDNT STAND IT. ROSS LOOKS LIKE MESSI AND HITLER COMBINED. GENUIENLY DISTURBING MOVIE AND NOT ENJOYABLE AT ALL. PLEASEEEEEEE DO NOT WATCH. DONT GET FOOLED BY GOOGLE I AM WARNING YOU. THE ENDING IS VERY VERY DISGUSTING. THIS MOVIE PROMOTES INCEST AND OTHER DISTURBING ELEMENTS. See more SweetShrimp @SweetShrimp Jan 21 Worst film I've ever watched holy shrimp. See more Kasey C @Kasec96 Jan 1 Cool creepy intense film, if you like cosmic mind bending horror with gore then watch this! Plus Patrick plays a great villain outside of his heroic films like the conjuring See more thiago s @Thiagostone Dec 3 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Tyler K. @Tyler_Kernelsemtex Nov 13 The grass itself created a claustrophobic atmosphere. Being trapped in a haunted corn field is something we usually pay for. That idea itself could have made this film unique. But the storyline was so convoluted and confusing, that we as an audience grew tired of solving the plot. However, there was some surprising gore that kept us watching. The antagonist was well played and even had some lines that created shock value. This film could have been great, but we will settle for its mediocrisy.
