Stephen King has built a reputation for being one of the most prolific horror writers currently working. He has penned some of the most iconic horror stories of the past 50 years, including many that have made their way onto the silver screen. From IT to The Shawshank Redemption, there is no denying his works have produced some truly fantastic films. Sadly, with such a breadth of work, a few do not hit their mark. The latest adaptation, In the Tall Grass, is one such film.

The story starts out with Cal (Avery Whitted) and his pregnant sister Becky (Laysla De Oliveira) driving through America’s heartland when suddenly they need to stop so Becky can throw up. As they stand by the roadside with the grass fields sounding them, they hear calls for help from within the grass and decide to check things out.

Final Thoughts:

In the Tall Grass is a beautiful to look at but dull mess that does little for the Netflix library or Stephen King staple of film adaptations.
