Stop Trailer
Lionsgate has released the full Fall for its upcoming survival thriller, Fall, online. The film seems to be truly terrifying, as well as a real nightmare for those suffering from vertigo..
If the beginning Fall remembers the opening scene of Vertical Limit dead, in Fall we will not climb a mountain but rather a rusty radio antenna lost in the middle of a desert, to be obviously stuck there together with the two leading actresses: Grace Caroline Currey and Virginia Gardner.
In the film, “For best friends Becky (Grace Caroline Currey) and Hunter (Virginia Gardner), life is all about conquering fears and pushing boundaries. But after climbing 2,000 feet to the top of a remote abandoned radio tower, they find themselves stranded with no way out. Now Becky and Hunter's expert climbing skills will be put to the ultimate test as they fight desperately to survive the elements, lack of supplies and dizzying heights in this adrenaline-pumping thriller. "
The film was directed by Scott Mann (Heist, Final Score) and also stars Jeffrey Dean Morgan. The film will hit theaters on August 12th, so we won't have to wait long to find out how the couple's misadventure will end.
If you are acrophobic, hold on tight to your chair! The teaser for Fall, the new thriller from British director Scott Mann (Bus 657, Mara) has just been unveiled.
In this feature film carried by Grace Fulton (Annabelle 2, Shazam!) and Virginia Gardner (Halloween, Marvel's Runaways), two friends, whose life consists of pushing their limits, want to take on a new challenge: to climb a disused telecommunications tower more than 600 meters high.
But during their climb, the two women find themselves stuck in the tower and forced to survive there without resources, and under a scorching sun.
Although precise plot details are still unknown, the synopsis suggests that Fall will follow the same narrative pattern as other thrillers in the genre based on different fears such as Frozen (2010), which featured a group of friends trapped on a ski lift, 47 Meters Down, which took place in a shark cage trapped underwater, The Descent in which 6 women found themselves trapped underground or even Survival instinct in which Blake Lively faced a great White shark.
This first video shows us one of the two women suspended in the void and held Don't Fall to the by her friend, herself perched on a small platform located more than 500 meters high.
After Martin Campbell's Vertical Limit in 2001, Abel Ferry's Vertige or Robert Zemeckis' The Walk, viewers prone to vertigo should therefore push their limits with Fall, which is scheduled for release on American screens on August 12th.
Chills guaranteed in front of Fall, a new thriller soon to be released. The American studio Lionsgate has just put online the first images of this film which should make viewers dizzy.
Fall follows two best friends, Becky (Grace Caroline Currey) and Hunter (Virginia Gardner), whose lives are all about pushing boundaries and their fears. Their new challenge: to climb a disused telecommunications tower more than 600 meters high.
But during their climb, despite their expertise in the matter, the two women find themselves stuck in the tower and forced to survive there without resources, and under a scorching sun.
If the slightly wobbly special effects of the first trailer made us fear a semi-effective Wrong Timeline experience (all the effects of the film relying entirely on the realism of its situation), the brand new trailer comes to reassure us, promising an anxiety-provoking thriller as possible. If his scenario seems to lack depth, the staging of acrobatics in height has something to impress here. The young women, a thread away from the fatal fall, will therefore have to defy the merciless gravity with agility and endurance. We are eager to see the sequel.
We will also find in the cast Virginia Gardner (Almanac Project) and Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Watchmen), the actor will be in a smaller role a priori since the film should focus on the two heroines. Fall does not yet have a specific air date with us, but will be released on August 12 on American soil. To discover this breathtaking survival story, hope to have more information soon.
Lovers of strong sensations and intense images, here in the genre of survival films in extreme conditions, here is a newcomer to challenge your resistance to the most instinctive fears. There is a whole day in the cinema that now rests on a very basic pitch: what would happen to one or two intrepid solo adventurers if they suddenly found themselves stuck in a very restricted environment, where only the determination to survive counted?.
We can vary the tone and the circumstances, this gives us - among others - Open Water, stuck in the middle of the ocean, 127 Hours, stuck under a rock in a canyon, Gravity, stuck in space, etc. Films counting on the great thrill to come alive with spectacular images and test our senses, they often remain honorable entertainment as long as we can appreciate this type of sensation in the cinema.
This time, our two protagonists - played by Virginia Gardner and Grace Fulton - are two friends who decide to push their limits by climbing a disused telecommunications tower over 600 meters. As we can get a glimpse of in the teaser, this will not necessarily go very well. Stuck at the top of this tower, under a heavy sun, the two women will therefore have to survive there as long as possible.
Playing off the height of the tower, the maddeningly high angle perspective, Fall impresses with a few images and an already hopeless situation, promising that the fall will be just as hectic as the landing. At least, we hope so. A release date has already been announced with the film's poster for August 12 in the United States, but no date has yet been given on our soil.
Have you ever noticed that filmmakers like to mix climbing/mountaineering with other genres to attract outsiders? With "Cliffhanger" starring Sylvester Stallone it was the action genre, with the French "High Lane" it was the genre of the backwood slasher and with "Vertical Limit" the entire film actually had nothing to do with real mountaineering anymore with the crazy stunts, that Chris O'Donnell and Co. have laid down.
It's actually quite enough to capture the thrill of the unbelievable height to get sweaty hands, sweat dripping from the forehead and downright panic in the majority of the audience. You will surely have seen one or two video clips from experienced free climbers or even from boulderers and roofers. Then you know exactly what is meant here.
Director Scott Mann ("The Kidnapping of Bus 657") also uses this primal fear of heights for his horror thriller "Fall", as the first trailer impressively proves.
After a tragic accident, Becky wants to give up her passion. If it wasn't for Hunter. She is certain that grief can only be overcome if Becky keeps going. And she already has one goal in mind: a 600 meter high TV radio tower in the middle of nowhere. What they didn't anticipate, however, are the ramshackle ladders that collapse when they reach the top. With no cell phone signal and no way to dismount, they are stranded at dizzying heights.
So much is already certain: If you don't cheer and tremble here, you're already dead. Speaking of dead, Negan actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan from "The Walking Dead" is also part of the party and plays Becky's father. However, it remains unclear how big his role will be. Mason Gooding, Julia Pace Mitchell and Jasper Cole also star alongside the three. Not that many actors are. This means that the film will indeed be about the climbers' death throes for most of the time.
Fall will hit theaters in the US on August 12, 2022. When and if the horror thriller will be in cinemas in Germany or will be made available directly via video on demand is still pending.
As a die-hard horror fanatic, you can surely recognize all of these works from just one image, right?
