Story: Drowning in a sea of grief, 51 painful weeks after the life-altering incident that scarred her for life, emotionally fragile rock climber Becky reluctantly decides to confront her fears. And as her thrill-seeking friend Hunter re-enters Becky's ruined life, the two experienced climbers embark on a high-risk climbing adventure to the top of the abandoned 2,000-foot B67 TV tower: an anxiety-inducing, vertigo-inspiring construction of weather-beaten metal and rattling rivets in the middle of the Mojave desert. However, when the peril-laden climb doesn't go as planned, the women must summon up every last ounce of courage and strength to devise a plan for a safe return home--or die trying



Likes: Fall will push you to the edge of anxiety, but is the film fall any good? Absolutely yes, while most films of this type of theme tend to be a little boring at times, this will keep you on the edge of your seat, all the way through to the end.

This film was really hard to watch, not because of its acting or film's direction, it just the sheer intensive nature of the film, as it revolves around two girls: after a tragic event in their lives to lend them to spread the ashes at the highest point, here is where thing go horribly wrong when they find them self trap no way down, no one around for miles. 

Serval times the film will make you want to look away as it gets seriously intense moments that will make your anxiety go from one to a hundred in seconds with just how you get these heart-pounding moments, that make you gasp in fear.   

I kid you not if you're squeamish or acrophobic this film might not be for you, as it will leave you feeling too uncomfortable at times. It's a nice curveball film with a twist that will leave you hanging from what gonna happen next, this is why the film Fall is so intense. So if you're gonna watch it, I hope you're not afraid of heights; 2000ft up your anxiety will kick in fast. Special with the Twist in the film that will leave you shocked.  



Dislike: There were some pace issues but no a bad film



Overall: Intense, frightening, anxiety film that will leave you with a fear of heights.



Rating: 4.9 out of 5 for Entertainment / 8 out of 10 for the concept
