10 Most Anticipated Original Horror Films 2019

3. In The Tall Grass

Us Movie 2019
Netflix

Of course, where there's horror, there's Stephen King, and amongst the countless remakes, reboots, and sequels coming in 2019 - there's one fresh little adaptation coming to Netflix that could be something very special. In The Tall Grass has only a simple description so far, but it's one that raises more questions that it answers: "after hearing a young boy's cry for help, a sister and brother venture into a vast field of grass in Kansas but soon discover that there may be no way out."

We aren't talking haunted hedge mazes here, fortunately, with Stephen King's novella playing its part as inspiration for the movie that he wrote in collaboration with his son. With two great horror minds, as well as Vincenzo Natali - the guy to thank for cult hits Cube and Splice - In The Tall Grass looks set to stand out on the streaming platform. Considering we've already had a fatal dose of plant power with The Happening which was quickly (and rightly) brushed under the carpet, there's some prime real estate for a movie that really makes grass scary. If anyone can do it, King can.
