The premise
After hearing a child screaming for help from the green depths of a vast field of tall grass, Becky, a pregnant woman, and Cal, her brother, park their car near a mysterious abandoned church and enter the field, discovering that they are not alone and, for some reason, they are unable to escape a completely inextricable vegetable labyrinth.
Horror Vault's take
When a pregnant woman and her brother pull over after hearing a child's desperate cries from a sprawling field of tall grass, what seems like a straightforward rescue quickly unravels into something far more sinister. The field itself seems to defy logic — directions shift, landmarks vanish, and the group cannot find their way out no matter how hard they try. Based on a novella by Stephen King and Joe Hill, the film leans into cosmic dread as the ordinary landscape becomes an inescapable, living trap. What lurks within the grass may be the least of their worries compared to what the field does to the mind.
