Looking for a suspenseful movie to watch? In The Tall grass is a Netflix original movie based on one of Stephen King’s infamous short stories.
It was released October 4, 2019, directed by Vincenzo Natali and was adapted from the horror novella by American writers Stephen King and his son Joe Hill. The book was originally published August 1, 2012.
The movie includes lots of twists and turns as a brother and sister get lost in a field. As they were driving, they heard a boy cry for help because he was lost in there. The family shortly after meets the boy’s mother and father as they were searching for him. The amount of suspense the audience is put through as the maze moves, changes their personalities and basically navigates through time to split the group apart.
Everyone is lost and has no way to get out, as others come looking for the brother and sister, they realize that they have been trapped inside the maze of grass for months. If you end up dozing off for just a second when watching this, the whole plot line wont make sense.
Stephen King has a way to write crazy/suspenseful stories to captivate the readers and audience. If you like movies that you have to watch until the end to understand the meaning of the story, I recommend the Netflix original In The Tall Grass.
