The Tall Man is one of those movies that made us think that it was taking us one place, and then took us in another direction completely, leaving us both surprised and pleased.

We've been a fan of Pascal Laugier since 2008 when he gave the horror world the gift of Martyrs; we loved that movie for plenty of reasons, and we couldn't wait to see what its Director would do next.

It took him four years to give us a follow-up film. Why so long between directorial efforts? Who knows. Maybe he needed to shake the stigma of Martyrs from him before moving on. Whatever the case, The Tall Man was worth the wait. It's a very different movie from Martyrs, at least viscerally, but it still packs the same sort of commentary punch.
