From the producers of 47 Metres Down, Fall feels almost like a reversal of the synopsis of that aquatic thriller.
Instead of pitting our protagonists at the bottom of the ocean, they are stranded 2000 feet up in the air.
We meet Becky and Hunter, two young thrill-seekers who are part of a traumatic incident which appears to drive a wedge between their friendship. To reconnect Hunter organises a crazy adventure to climb a 2000-foot abandoned radio tower in the middle of the desert; what could go wrong?
As someone who is not good with heights, Fall hit all the right marks to make me feel really queasy.
Director Scott Mann employs a number of set pieces that are quite frankly nerve-shredding, whether heights are your issue or not.
Just when you feel like they may have an avenue of escape, Mann throws another curveball to the mix.
At just over 1 hour 45 minutes, Fall does not drag either and keeps the viewer entertained throughout and although it does revisit some of the survivalist horror tropes, it feels quite original.
Fall is best seen on the big screen.
Fall will be screened at Arrow Video Frightfest and will be released in Cinemas on 2 September 2022.
