While the plot of this movie is overall

While the plot of this movie is overall quite intriguing, it tends to be too vague for the viewer to follow and often has complex dialogue. The plot is indeed deep and has many twists, but often contradicts itself and doesn’t have one clean timeline. There is no goal that is being achieved in this movie, no ultimate purpose for the story being told other than for it to be heard. The beginning of the movie was intriguing, but quickly I lost interest. It was fun to watch with friends as it was simple-minded and somewhat easy to predict, but otherwise not a good movie. The cinematic shots are pretty decent, the actors do their roles well, but the script and plot is just terrible in my opinion. There’s no real resolution conflict and or journey here. Another additional thing to add: the movie is advertised very much so as a slenderman-type movie. The name is literally ‘tall man’ and the posters you get when looking it up are of a tall, almost warped man with no face(white slender face). This does not apply to the movie AT ALL. (SPOILERS AHEAD) the ‘man’ isn’t that tall. And he’s just some random husband who kidnaps children to then get adopted by city folk in hopes to bring them a better life…there’s NO man who’s particularly tall, and no man with no face. The movie description is incredibly misleading. If you want to watch a slender man movie, this is not it. Adding on about dialogue, the script for the actors was confusing at best, however it wasn’t what irked me the most. What it was for me, was the voiceovers. You could clearly tell that the audio of their voices were just covers of the original voices(maybe for copyright reasons, they didn’t have the rights, or the Canadian accents were so strong that they wanted a United States dub?). Either way, it made the film MUCH less immersive. So, while I do enjoy the complicated plot, it ultimately lacks connection to the viewer and a journey that keeps them engaged. The movie was so confusing I often found myself LITERALLY playing block blast because I found

Yeah, it is always a pain to see

Yeah, it is always a pain to see people giving 5 stars to stupid protestant-coded, hollywood pre-made, forgettable movies like The Conjuring Series or other dull big productions like that. And then they rate movies like The Tall man, which actually have an interesting story to tell, giving it 1 star, saying it's vague or hard to follow. If you're the average viewer who wants to be spoonfed the story, who likes conventional thrillers and their unbearable tropes, then you won't like this movie. If you actually like a good movie that doesn't come from the mind of a money-hungry American director always coming up with the same kind of stories that'll just suck your intellect out of you, then give this movie a try. Pascal Laugier knows how to write a story (and a good one).

The Tall Man’s bait-and-switch marketing, cashing in on

The Tall Man’s bait-and-switch marketing, cashing in on the then popular Slender Man mythos, is already the only red flag you need. It honestly feels like the marketing team knew the plot couldn’t stand on its own and had to lure people in under false pretenses. There’s nothing more frustrating than going into a movie expecting one genre and getting something completely different. The first half still keeps some hope alive, but then the usual Laugier twist kicks in and turns the whole thing into a boring, message-heavy social drama. Some critics try to sell this shift as "real" or "dark" horror, but the so-called moral depth lands about as hard as a trolley problem. It’s not thought-provoking, not believable, and definitely not disturbing. And Jessica Biel is the absolute worst casting for this movie, her face simply does not fit the role they are forcing her to act. In the end, it leaves you with nothing but the feeling you’ve wasted your time.
