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.

A great idea for a movie. Very interesting storyline, however the entire story is considerably dark.

I've watched all the horror movies... And absolutely loved in the tall grass. I expected the plot to be repetitive but I was engaged during the entire film and I was genuinely scared, i liked the ending and i felt the movie explained all my big question.

Despite receiving a low score, this movie truly doesn't deserve it. It pleasantly surprised me, and I'm glad I didn't let the rating deter me from watching it. Contrary to expectations, it stands out as one of the best in its genre. The film offers a refreshing take, and Patrick Wilson's performance is nothing short of brilliant. From start to finish, it captivates audiences with its engaging storyline and impressive execution. Therefore, I highly recommend giving it a chance, despite any initial reservations based on its score.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Repeats itself to much. No kontext. No explanation. No sense. No structure.

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.

While it's not the sharpest of King's stories, Natali's cast redeems the film's shortcomings.

Austin Chronicle

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.

Keith & the Movies

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.

Rated: 2.5/5

Tthis is hands-down one of silliest and funniest - unintentionally - alleged horrors I've seen in years.
