10 Most Unexpected Time Jumps In Horror Movies

10. Missing - In The Tall Grass

Whilst most people think Pokémon when they think of wandering through long grass, this Canadian horror movie from 2019 takes it in an entirely new and terrifying direction.

Based on a novella written by Stephen King and his son Joe Hill, In the Tall Grass follows Becky, a pregnant woman, and her brother Cal as they get lured into a field by a mysterious presence and must fight for survival.

The grass plays several wicked tricks on its victims, including playing around with their perception of distance and, as it transpires, time. Becky and Cal are hiding out in the grass when they hear the voice of Travis, the father of Becky's unborn child. When they find him, they're relieved to see a familiar face, but that relief turns to terror when he informs them that they have been missing for two months.

Not only are Becky and Cal in shock, but the audience is too, as there had been no previous indication that so much time had passed since the protagonists first got lost.

The moral of the story? Never underestimate what appears to be just a humble plant.
