10 Scariest Movie Moments Of 2019
9. In The Tall Grass - The Woman Appears
In The Tall Grass is really a mystery movie with horror elements, so across its entire runtime, it likely wouldn't make the top ten scariest movies of the year. The horror comes in fits and starts, and while that can make for a bit of a disjointed story, it also means you never know what's lurking in the tall grass.
Its biggest scare comes quite early on, which is a bit unusual, but then that seems to suit In The Tall Grass too. The later scares are more linked to the plot and have deeper ramifications for everyone concerned, but the first major scare remains the biggest 'moment' throughout.
While Becky is wading through the tall grass, a mysterious figure suddenly lurches out at her as the music crescendos. It sets the tone perfectly for the film, warning us of how lost and alienated not only the characters are, but we are as well.
Unfortunately, In The Tall Grass doesn't really kick on from their, and merely recycles this jump scare over and over in less intimidating ways each time. In isolation though, it's a brilliant early scare.
