Jessica Biel stars in new horror/thriller THE TALL MAN and here’s the first trailer. THE TALL MAN is causing a stir as it is the first film from director Pascal Laugier since his incredible and disturbing film MARTYRS (2008). THE TALL MAN sees a town that is plagued by the disappearances of their children. After Jessica Biel’s son is taken, she sets out to unravel the legend of the Tall Man, a local mythical figure that steals children.
The plot sounds fairly straightforward after MARTYRS, which really did twist the genre on its head. The second half of the trailer did take a nice turn with a very soothing and beautiful song. Hopefully this English language film with a major star hasn’t forced Laugier to tone himself down. MARTYRS is one of the greatest horror films of the last few years, and the less you know about it, the better it is.
THE TALL MAN is having a limited release in the US on 31st August 2012, with a UK release date yet to be announced. It stars Jessica Biel and Stephen McHattie.
