20 Best Netflix Original Movies Of 2019 - Ranked

18. In The Tall Grass

The Highway Men

After Netflix absolutely knocked it out of the park with its adaptation of Gerald's Game (and, to a lesser extent, 1922), it's understandable that hopes would be high for another Stephen King adaptation of theirs, In The Tall Grass.

And while the movie doesn't hit the dizzying heights of Gerald's lethal sex game, In The Tall Grass is a stylishly directed and scarily atmospheric little thriller.

It does get a little bit too bizarre as the third act progresses, losing much of that basic unnerving feeling of being lost in an endless field of tall grass, but that being said, those who enjoy the weirder side of King's works will probably find this to be a plus.

Points must also be awarded for just how dedicated Patrick Wilson is to his deranged performance. Seriously, this guy is nuts. He's hammy as hell, but is great fun to watch nonetheless.
