Best bizarre scary movie on Netflix: Tusk or In the Tall Grass? – cleveland.com

By Claudia Dimuro

Some people get their thrills from roller coasters; others from skateboarding. Then there are those who dabble in films of the horror variety, reveling in jump scares and the mental and emotional turmoil that follow after. If you find yourself recognizing yourself in this description, then boy, do we have two movies on Netflix for you. The first is Tusk, a Kevin Smith film that takes body horror to a whole new level. Then theres In the Tall Grass, a Stephen King-Joe Hill collaboration thats more twisty than a twister. Which are you watching?

What do you get when Kevin Smith creates a film revolving around a smarmy podcast host that gets slowly tortured and turned into a huge walrus by a complete psychopath? Tusk, is the answer to that. If you think that summary is a weird enough concept to begin with, just wait until you watch the movie.

Tusk may have a cast full of familiar faces such as Justin Long and Haley Joel Osment, but dont let that lull you into a false sense of comfort. You wont be OK after this movie. Like, for real.

Stephen King is a name associated with spine-tingling tales that have haunted generations. Then theres his son Joe Hill, whos keeping the tradition alive. Together, theyve created creepy masterpieces such as In the Tall Grass, which was adapted into an unsettling Netflix film in 2019. Its so unsettling, in fact, youll second guess stepping on to a lawn that hasnt been mowed in a couple of weeks.

In the Tall Grass is the story about Becky (Laysla De Oliveira), a forlorn soul travelling with her brother (Avery Whitted) to the adoptive family of her unborn child. On the way they hear voices crying in some tall grass crying for help, entering into a hellish experience that sadly has Patrick Wilson as a still sexy but unfortunately mustachioed psychopath. Enjoy your sleepless nights!
