10 Best Scary Movies For People Who Hate Horror
6. In The Tall Grass (2019)
In keeping with the theme of variety on this list, 2019's In the Tall Grass is our most recent offering. Netflix produced the film, and the slick feel to its action and lighting deliver audiences a stunningly beautiful movie.
Siblings Becky and Cal are stopped at the roadside and are greeted with a cry for help from a young boy, unsurprisingly, they enter.
From here the movie is aesthetically pleasing in its colour and detail, but becomes increasingly eerie as events unfold and the pair succumb to time twisting, thought-bending, fear inducing moments of terror. The plot evolves quickly but maintains a strong level of discomfort for viewers as they can never truly feel safe.
Director Vincenzo Natali elegantly displays the characters in ways that entice audiences to learn more about their motives and backstories. He also delivers a visual set-piece that has viewers yearning to examine every aspect of the screen as it is never truly clear where the next threat is coming from. This level of high-alert and attentiveness, combined with a delicate balance of nerve-racking moments and scary instances means that In The Tall Grass keeps you on the edge of your seat, even in quieter scenes.
One which requires attention to follow a winding plot, In The Tall Grass is a superb entry-level film for those looking to experience true fear without seeing a traditional horror.
