Stephen King has known so many and varied adaptations that it is convenient to approach them with lead feet. For some time, however, and despite setbacks like "The Dark Tower", the balance has been tilting towards the positive: "It" or "Doctor Sueño" in the movies, and things like "Castle Rock", "The Lisey's story or 'The Visitor' among many others, on television. Netflix has taken care of some of the best, like the great "Gerald's Game!" or this one »in the tall grass' that you have available on the platform.
Based on a short story King wrote with his son, Joe Hill, the film has a starting point where the author of 'The Shining' is fully recognized: a couple of brothers traveling by car hear a child asking for help, and to help him they enter a thick field of extremely tall grass. But once inside, they are disoriented and unable to get out.
The film marks a long-awaited return to the feature film format (and in full form) from Vincenzo Natali, director of the cult classic “Cube”. Here, he seems to remember the lessons of claustrophobic atmospheres and labyrinthine plots well, and what begins as what appears to be a lost episode of 'The Twilight Zone' ends up taking on more sinister undertones, and it turns out. curiously relates to the modes of the fantastic of considerable success in the present.
Even if sometimes the film encounters certain difficulties when it comes to stretching a very short novel into a feature film and the pace suffers, the fascinating interpretation of a very involved Patrick Wilson and the good work of Natali, added to the powerful concept imagined by King and Hill, end up making the film fly above average. A fantastic way to meet the furthest king of his most typical and best-selling stories.
