Fall
2022
6/10
This film came up on my Google home page earlier this month about it being released on Netflix. It caught my attention and I watched it last night at home on Netflix.
The premise isn’t anything new, but the setting of the film is what makes it stand out.
It does a quick character development at the beginning with the main character who is the brunette. The film then goes into SHTF stage around 30 minutes in.
It’s one of those films with White People (especially White Chicks) doing something completely stupid without putting any thought into what they are about to do. It’s pointed out throughout the start of the female’s climb to the audience, that the radio tower is obviously not safe to climb, if you took about 10 minutes to make a quick observation from the ground.
The VFX/SFX of the characters on the tower look great and believable. This is definitely a film that was made for the movie theatres and not for home viewing. It probably looks great in 3-D and through VR Goggles.
There is a small twist towards the end that gives a different outlook on the events that happened 30 minutes prior.
Suspense plays out well, nothing to scare you or make you jump.
For the Foot Fiends, plenty of shots of bare WW feet.
Cubs Gooding Jr’s son has a small role in the film.
It’s an entertaining film overall.
Synopsis
Fall is a survival thriller about two best friends, Becky (Grace Caroline Currey) and Hunter (Virginia Gardner), who get stranded atop a 2,000-foot-tall abandoned radio tower in the desert after a climbing stunt goes wrong. The film follows their desperate fight to survive against vertigo, lack of supplies, and the elements, with the help of their rusty climbing skills and a drone.
