IN THE TALL GRASS (EN LA HIERBA ALTA)
Trailer
Synopsis
Two siblings traveling by car venture into a vast prairie after hearing a young boy’s cry coming from behind the grass. But every step they take plunges them further into a vegetal maze that seems impossible to get out. Adapting the story of the same name by Stephen King and Joe Hill, Vincenzo Natali creates an open-air claustrophobic nightmare, something like the reverse of his iconic Cube.
