Just watched "The Tall Man" from the writer/director of "Martyrs", Pascal Laugier. It wasn't actually a horror movie at all, and not even much of a thriller as the trailer suggested, but it still was extremely well made and had a general creepiness that carried it longer than it probably should have. That said, I wouldn't recommend it because parts of it will definitely piss a lot of people off. The actual premise, once it is revealed, is far-fetched but handled tastefully, although it sort of devolves into heavy-handed social commentary at the end. Anyway, at least this guy is taking chances and has put out 3 fairly unique movies, each pretty ambitious in their own right, in a short career. Oh, and Jessica Biel is NOT attractive in this at all, and isn't supposed to be.
