Director : Pascal Laugier
Running Time : 106 mins
Julia Denning (Biel) is a nurse who lives in the sleepy town of Cold Rock. When her son is kidnapped in the middle of the night, suspicion falls on the local legend of The Tall Man, a mystical figure that kidnaps children and buries them in the old mining tunnels that run under the town, but the truth behind the legend is soon revealed, and Julia becomes the prime suspect in a string of child abductions.
This is like Changeling without the passion in the performances, and with a silly internet meme as the apparent villain but don’t be fooled – this is not a horror film. Halfway through there’s a huge twist, which removes this from horror territory and switches it a standard crime drama stroke thriller. This does suffer from being confusing at times due to the major plot twists, and perhaps this is too clever for its own good, but in hindsight it is a reasonably well made movie that keeps you guessing right up to the end.
