Fall is a heart-pounding survival thriller that explores the raw edges of fear, grief, and endurance. Centered on two friends, Becky and Hunter, the film follows their decision to climb a remote, abandoned 2,000-foot TV tower as a way to cope with personal loss and seek adrenaline-fueled distraction. What begins as a daring adventure quickly spirals into a terrifying fight for survival when the ladder collapses, stranding them at the top with no way down.
The film thrives on its minimal setting and high-stakes suspense. With limited resources, no cell service, and sheer drops on every side, the isolation becomes a character in itself. As hours turn into days, tensions rise, hallucinations blur reality, and secrets between the women start to surface, adding emotional weight to their already dire circumstances.
Fall delivers stunning aerial cinematography that captures the dizzying height and vast desolation surrounding the tower. It uses the physical height not only to evoke fear but also to symbolize the emotional descent into despair and desperation. The film is a meditation on courage and resilience, showing how human spirit endures even when the body is pushed to its limits.
With gripping performances, particularly from Grace Caroline Currey, and tight, nerve-racking pacing, Fall stands out as more than just a thriller. It is a test of friendship, resolve, and the human instinct to survive when all hope seems lost. It's not just the altitude that takes your breath away — it’s the sheer tension that never lets go.
