    Village Voice

    Once you get through the flaming, Bowser's Castle?like gauntlet of the rest of the story's implausibilities, you end up in a different movie than the one on the creepy poster.

    Los Angeles Times

    Long on atmosphere and short on sense, The Tall Man becomes less gripping as it grows more ridiculous.

    The New York Times Jeannette Catsoulis

    Ultimately his story draws more energy from class than from criminality: awash in sludgy browns and rotting greens - the colors of poverty and decomposition - this unpredictable oddity is a little bonkers but a lot original.

Before watching this film, I began to read some reviews. I could then tell that if I continued reading them the movie would be spoiled. I'm not sure why the ratings are so low. This is easily a 4/5 for just about anyone. I rated it a 5/5 because not only is the story original, the cinematography is amazing. You really do get sucked in, and feel like you are in Washington state. All the actors do their jobs well. It was fun to see "The Smoking Man" from the X-Files in something else as well. This is a great cerebral thriller. Watch this with no expectations and you will enjoy. Trust me, not knowing is half the fun.
