Well that was a letdown.

I think I'd rather spend the time looking up Slender Man stuff on the internet.

I was underwhelmed by that trailer. Martyrs is a great film. I have the UK Blu-ray.

Tall Man my ass!

Looks like this is going straight to video, releasing this week.

i think i'll watch this, great trailer.

I loved this. Had no idea what it was about and was pleasantly surprised.

It's not a horror movie though. Not at all.
And it has nothing to do with the Slender Man. Not at all.

The Tall Man is a terrible title.

Nothing to do with Slender Man? That's disappointing, actually.

If it's not a horror movie than what is it?

It's a mystery thriller/drama.

The climax of this film is currently tied with Red Lights as the worst of the year. Horrible. Just horrible.

Is it at least about a man with a small pot belly? As long as his face is slender, a pot belly wouldn't bother me.

note: everyone who has made a joke in this thread has failed. I think you all should try a little harder because some of the posters are usually pretty funny people.

This is now available on Netflix Instant if anyone wants to check it out.

I'm curious, but I also know the twist, and it sounds horrible. But I'd eat Biel's ass like it was my last meal on earth, so I suppose watching it can't be all that bad.

Yep, it's in my queue.

Either way, there's gotta be some shit involved.

THE TALL MAN is an interesting film, in the sense that I'd rate it a clear thumbs up on first-time viewing, but I'm fairly certain I'd rate it a decided thumbs down for any subsequent viewings.

I'd label the film as a mystery/suspense film with horror-film window dressing (at least for the first half)...or perhaps more succinctly...a dark fairytale. I suspect most will figure out the answer to the mystery aspect somewhere around midway, still that doesn't mean I found the movie any less interesting as it played out. And I do think the movie would make for nice post-film discussion. The director - Pascal Laugier - I thought did a nice job in terms of technical values...it's a solid B-movie type entry.

Getting back to my opening remark, I think the issue of storytelling cheats and/or implausibilities would trouble me on any second viewing. Since I didn't know what to expect the first-time through, everything pretty much worked for me, and any sort of cheat, questionable logic, implausiblity that the film might have contained didn't seem apparent on first viewing. But I suspect any future viewing will not be so kind in terms of my verdict on this movie.

Actually, there is one deleted scene on the Blu-ray, and I am glad they cut it out of the film. If it had been in the film, it would have been too strong a cheat (or playing unfair with me as a viewer), that I couldn't have forgiven it as the story played out in the second half...if that scene had been included I would have rated this film a thumbs down even on only the first viewing.
