Reviews of The Tall Man 2012
-
Overly long and needlessly complex this has some Laugier trademarks but doesn't hold a candle to Martyrs
-
Great Idea
-
A really nice piece of early misdirection, and a well crafted air of paranoid tension are somewhat squandered as the film plays out a heavily signposted final "twist". A shame.

El problema de The Tall Man son las expectativas. Las que proceden de elementos externos a la propia obra (como el poster, el trailer, la anterior cinta de Laugier o incluso el título) podrían ser excusables, pero las internas no tienen perdón. El tono inicial del film prepara al espectador para algo que nunca pasa y que es sustituido por giros de guión que conducen únicamente a planteamientos morales que ni siquiera son suficientemente transgresores como para ser interesantes.

Naja naja... The Tall Man ist ein Film in dem es um die mysteriöse Entführung von Kindern in einem kleinen Bergbaudorf geht.

An odd film, but I liked it nonetheless .. Curtis (my 12 year old) was hoping this might be a sort of "Slenderman" story, but it is nothing like that at all.
This movie switches gears part way through, and you probably won't see it coming, which was nice for a change. -
I didn't expect much, I heard that it was similar to the Slenderman 'myth' and it had some similarities but not enough to keep me interested.

The tall man es tan efectiva en su atmósfera y tan fallida entre tantos giros de tuerca que termina por perder su fuerza. Una historia que ofrece más suspenso que el terror que prometen sus estrategias de venta.

Doesn't quite manage to harness its twists and the horror feels tame for Pascal.

This film tryed a lot of things and couldn't accomplish any of them. Also, don't like and say you are a horror film if you aren't.

This review reportedly contains spoilers. I can handle the truth.
