“Tall Man” May Be The Film That Warms Me To Miss Biel

I have made it known that I just don’t like Jessica Biel. I think it falls back to those endless years of stupid “Seventh Heaven” shows that never seemed to stop. I tried to like her as an actress in “Texas Chainsaw” but couldn’t get past the whole “Well to-do, snotty, suburbanite, rich girl” thing that she seems to put off. However with her character in Total Recall not seeming to make that movie suck and this new creepy child killer flick I think I may start warming up to her.


"Cold Rock, U.S.A. - A darkness hovers upon the town: children have gone missing over the years leaving neither a clue nor a witness. Superstitious locals talk of The Tall Man, a legendary, mysterious dark figure who takes children away never to be seen again. Julia (Biel), is a nurse living in Cold Rock who doesn't believe in legends. Until one night, waking up with an eerie feeling she goes to her son's bedroom and find his bed empty. Rushing downstairs she stops dead in her tracks: a huge dark figure stands in the entrance holding her son David. Driven by pure instinct, Julia rushes after them willing to do whatever it takes to get her son back. The chase is on and with it the quest for answers: who is The Tall man? What becomes of the children?"
