The Tall Man is a 2012 Canadian-French mystery-horror film written and directed by Pascal Laugier. It was filmed in the Kootenay region of Southeastern British Columbia and stars Jessica Biel.

Jessica Biel plays a widowed nurse whose child is abducted, leading her on a desperate chase to recover him.
