Set in the town of Cold Rock, THE TALL MAN is a story of the haunting secrets that hide behind closed doors. With children 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. When Julia Denning's son goes missing, the chase is on and with it the quest for answers: Who is 'The Tall Man', and where have the children gone? THE TALL MAN is the first English language feature from French Director Pascal Laugier, who's MARTYRS opened to critical acclaim at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival and later that year at the Toronto International Film Festival.
