It’s through this mythology that Natali goes for full blown surrealism, both in narrative construct and aesthetic. Natali gives his own twist and interpretation to the mythology behind the bizarre set of circumstances these wayward travelers have entered. Beyond that, though, these characters are paper-thin. Becky’s relationship with her baby’s father, Travis ( Harrison Gilbertson), is expanded to the point that it becomes the driving force. Natali aimed to craft a narrative with a different brand of horror and more emotional heft, shifting the direction and outcome entirely. That doesn’t mean this adaptation is bereft of gore and brutality, it’s just repurposed and less explicit. In The Tall Grass – Harrison Gilbertson, Laysla De Oliveira, Avery Whitted – Photo Credit: NetflixĬonstant Readers will be disappointed to know that the grisly gore and taboo-breaking moments of the novella have been expunged. Ross is a bit of a Jekyll and Hyde type character that will make you laugh one moment and cower the next, and it’s riveting to watch Wilson’s portrayal. But there are many layers to Ross, and Wilson gets to stretch his acting limbs to the fullest, with reckless abandon and glee. As Tobin’s father Ross Humboldt, Wilson brings his trademark charm. This story may belong to the DeMuths, but the film’s strongest and best asset is actor Patrick Wilson. It’s not just dehydration and the elements that pose a threat, but something evil as well. Nothing is as it seems in this endless field, and there’s no apparent way out.
The moment they step foot into the field, they quickly become lost themselves. On a particularly deserted road surrounded by endless fields of tall, lush grass, the siblings hear a plea for help from a lost young boy, Tobin ( Will Buie Jr.). What was once a simple narrative is now a strange journey into the surreal, using the novella as a mere skeleton.Ĭal and Becky DeMuth ( Avery Whitted and Laysla De Oliveira) are Irish twins traveling through America’s backroads to San Diego, where the six months pregnant Becky will meet the adoptive parents of her unborn baby. Writer/director Vincenzo Natali ( Cube, Splice) has adapted it for Netflix, expanding the brisk novella to a feature length film.
Its simple story allows the shocking graphic violence to have maximum impact. Stephen King and Joe Hill‘s In the Tall Grass is a lean, mean novella.
