The Tall Man (2012) - from Pascal Laugier (director of MARTYRS)

[Impossible]

Watched this last night. I really enjoyed it even though some of the acting was a bit ropey & I predicted halfway through what was going on.

I think some people on here should look up the meaning of the word pretentious as there was nothing pretentious about it in the slightest

Glad you liked it. I don't know about pretentious, but the above comment saying "not scary" proves that the movie was badly marketed. With a title, poster and trailer that imply a horror film, no wonder it was disappointing for some, if not many.

Ironically, the original title was "The Secret" (Pascal Laugier even released the movie under this name in his native France). I can only imagine the marketing team in the US deciding that calling it "The Tall Man" would fool people into buying more tickets. Idiots!!

Did you not find Zodiac, Shutter Island, Identity or Seven scary in places?
