In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

I don't understand the negative reviews (rating 1 or 2) - this movie got fine acting, pro production and a fine twist + a thought provoking idea/story. Best if you watch this one without reading too many reviews - I watched this one without knowing anything about the movie but Jessica Biel was involved and didn't see the end or resolution of the movie coming. Read the synopsis and if it sounds interesting to you - watch.

This is an absolute gem of a crime thriller. I was a little surprised at first when I watched it because the trailers made it out to seem like a horror movie but nevertheless it was really good. It didn't feel "done before" at all and kept you guessing as to what would happen next. Right in the middle you have this massive OMG didn't see that coming moment and it changes the whole overtone. Sure there were a couple of small flaws but what do you expect from a low budget movie. It didn't need expensive tricks and effects as it instead relied on a strong story and talented cast. Speaking of which, Jessica Biel is such an underrated actress as she does a fantastic job in this movie. She is incredibly believable in the role and really immerses herself in the character.So ignore all the haters on this one as it has so much to offer. By the end you will realise that this movie is so much more than its synopsis and I promise that you will really enjoy it.

I rarely give movies from the 21st century 10/10 stars, mainly because of bad acting, CGI and soundtrack that just can't compare to movies of the 20th century. But The Tall Man has everything from brilliant acting to an original story.Filmed on the opposite side of where I live in Canada, The Tall Man has British Columbia scenery that looks simply amazing. I won't give away too much of the plot; basically a small mining town is slowly but surely fading away and children go missing all the time. A nurse, Julia, begins investigating when her own son goes missing, and the urban legend of the "tall man" turns out to be something no one expects, especially when it turns out that Julia isn't the innocent mom she pretends to be.Combine Sinister (2012) with Wicked Little Things (2006), and you'll get somewhat the themes in The Tall Man. It was so great to see my favorite actor, William B. Davis, in a role as Sheriff Chestnut, the mining town's police officer. I really missed the Cigarette Smoking Man when the X-Files was cancelled so it was really cool to see him in a role in this movie. I loved the story, it wasn't scary so much as interesting and compelling, and it was the most original movie plot I've seen in a while.The soundtrack was pretty good, not to mention the Canadian scenery (I'm Atlantic Canadian but B.C. is a beautiful place and a great film location). At the ending, the movie sort of leaves a lingering sadness behind and I am glad to have bought it on DVD.I highly recommend this movie, it's definitely worth watching and one of the best movies of 2012 in my opinion.
