WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Siblings Becky (Oliveira) and Cal (Whitted) hear a young boy’s cries from within a field of tall grass, and they venture in to rescue him. However, they end up becoming ensnared by a mysterious force operating within the field, and as they find themselves cut off from the rest of the world with little chance of escape, they soon realise the real danger might be from the least likely source…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

The director of sci-fi cult classic Cube adapts the short story by Stephen King and Joe Hill into a tense psychological thriller that somehow manages to make grass terrifying.
