When Becky asks what she's eating, Cal says it's grass, but she soon realizes that she's eating her stillborn baby, and that Cal is actually Ross. As such, it's Cal who tricks Becky into eating her baby, as she was weak and dehydrated and needed to get her strength back.
Splice director Vincenzo Natali has been trying to adapt the Stephen King/Joe Hill short story In The Tall Grass into a film since 2015. Netflix had two King adaptations of their own last year – Gerald's Game and 1922. Soon, they'll have another: In The Tall Grass.
The novella “In the Tall Grass†takes us back to the general “Children of the Corn†idea, that there's menace in a vast grassy field that turns into a supernatural maze (“The Shiningâ€) the moment you step into it. Yes, his son Joe Hill co-wrote it, but there's ground the master has covered before here.
In the Tall Grass is a 2019 Canadian supernatural horror drama film written and directed by Vincenzo Natali. It is based on Stephen King and Joe Hill's 2012 novella of the same name.

The abandoned church was called The Church of Black Rock of the Redeemer. After Ross touches the rock, he says he has been “redeemed†and tries to convert the other people trapped in the grass.
Basically when people touch the rock they become blood hungry demons-like creatures who are captivated by the grass. Their souls are trapped in the field forever and they trick other people in. They are then forced to relive the same tragic fate over and over again at the hands of Ross and the other grass-faced people.
According to this explainer of the In the Tall Grass ending, "The Grass is able to alter the past whilst retaining elements of the future." This is how Travis ends up in the grass, eventually pulling in Tobin, who pulls in Becky, who pulls in Travis. Time is not linear in the Tall Grass.
Stephen King and Joe Hill's novella, “In the Tall Grass,†is an unfortunate piece of anti-abortion propaganda and an OK horror film. Directed by Vincenzo Natali, the mystery thriller focuses on two families that become trapped in an inescapable field of grass as a result of their own choices.
Travis fears the responsibility of fatherhood. In the end, he touches the rock as a way to help Tobin – now an orphan – escape the time loop that will punish him forever otherwise, thus overcoming his fear and acting as a good father would, even if it means sacrificing himself.
By giving its key characters a sort of happy ending, or a semblance of one, the film closes its door on a direct sequel. The only way I see this work now is through new characters stepping into the endless tall grass field exploring new horrors since the opportunities there too are practically limitless.
The original extent of tallgrass prairie in Canada was the 2,300-square-mile (6,000 km2) plain in the Red River Valley, southwest of Winnipeg in Manitoba (see map). While most of Manitoba's tallgrass prairie has been destroyed through cultivation and urban expansion, relatively small areas persist.
It's adapted from a novella by Stephen King and his son Joe Hill. There are some violent and gory moments, including scenes in which a woman is killed when someone presses her skull together, a character stabbing another in the eye with fingernail scissors, and stabbings.
None suffered more than De Oliveira, who actually got hypothermia while filming the scene where Becky delivers her baby—a stillborn—in the rain. “She didn't need to go to the hospital, but she needed to leave the set because her body was shutting down,†Natali said.
