The year 2019 was undoubtedly a chaotic time for me and a large part of the Venezuelans in my country, the electrical system collapsed so we had two blackouts of several days in a row, which led to the implementation of harsh rationing, everywhere. They cut the electricity for several hours at different times of the day, I was focused on surviving having only my small laptop to work from home, taking advantage of the few hours of electricity to work, there was not much time left for entertainment, under this scenario I received the pleasant visit from an old friend, he needed to have an Internet connection for some things, so he told me that he was going to save some movies on my computer for me to watch, that's how in the most unexpected way I ended up watching the movie In the Tall Grass .
My friend has known me for almost 20 years, so he knows that I like suspense more than horror in movies, that I am not easily impressed by seeing unpleasant things or explicit killings in movies of this type, which is why I He recommended this movie for being very suspenseful and based on a novel by Stephen King and Joe Hill, so I was immediately interested in seeing it.
La trama es algo simple pero al mismo tiempo es un gran misterio y entra dentro del campo de lo sobrenatural, al principio vemos como una mujer embarazada y su hermano hacen un viaje en carretera y se detienen a la orilla del camino, esto en mi ya causa una gran sensación de angustia en incomodidad, porque toda persona que haya viajado en carretera sabe que hay tramos en los que no hay ningún tipo de conexión telefónica, donde no hay poblados y donde cualquier accidente ocurrido allí sería algo aislado, esa sensación de estar vulnerable en medio de la nada a mi particularmente me causa mucho miedo. Estas personas además escuchan el pedido de auxilio de un niño, la voz se escucha cercana pero dentro de la hierba alta a la orilla del camino, dudaron al principio pero luego entran en la hierba alta y se dan cuenta que es imposible salir.
The plot is something simple but at the same time it is a great mystery and enters into the field of the supernatural, at the beginning we see how a pregnant woman and her brother take a road trip and stop on the side of the road, this in me already causes a great feeling of anguish and discomfort, because every person who has traveled on the road knows that there are stretches in which there is no type of telephone connection, where there are no towns and where any accident that occurred there would be something isolated, that feeling of being Vulnerable in the middle of nowhere, it particularly scares me a lot. These people also hear a child's call for help, the voice is heard nearby but inside the tall grass on the edge of the road, they hesitated at first but then they enter the tall grass and realize that it is impossible to get out.
Maybe there are people who are scared when they see blood everywhere, but there are people like me whose feeling of anguish due to the suspense is much more powerful. Remember that the woman is also pregnant, there in the grass there are more voices, apparently there are more people trapped, soon the film that only shows the majority of the people in the grass setting, also delves into the minds of each of its characters, sometimes flashing back to the past, there is a whole mystery and while the People get tired of walking, are hungry and dehydrated, everything seems to get worse.
La película es fantástica porque quizá cualquier persona se aburriría de solo ver personajes en medio de la hierba alta, pero esta tan bien hecha la película que mantiene la tensión y la angustia al máximo, hay momentos en que la angustia que sentía me hacía pensar en que quería ayudar a los personajes a salir de allí de algún modo. Fue muy importante para mí vi ver esta película en esa época de mi vida porque ya había perdido la esperanza de entretenerme de algún modo en esos días.
The film is fantastic because perhaps anyone would get bored just seeing characters in the middle of the tall grass, but the film is so well made that it keeps the tension and anguish at a maximum, there are moments when the anguish I felt made me think of that I wanted to help the characters get out of there somehow. It was very important for me to see this movie at that time in my life because I had already lost hope of being entertained in any way in those days.
