“Fall,” directed by Scott Mann, sees two friends, Becky (Grace Caroline Currey) and Hunter (Virginia Gardner), embark on a bold expedition to climb an abandoned communications tower. As expected, their endeavor doesn't quite go as planned, and the pair finds themselves stranded with no means to get down and no ability to contact anyone for help. The simple premise gives the impression that we're in for a standard B-movie fare. However, what sets “Fall” apart is its eye-catching cinematography. The film features stunning shots that perfectly capture the sense of danger and isolation that the characters experience. The visuals work brilliantly to heighten the tension and create a genuine feeling of unease in the audience. The film makes it clear that if they fall, there will be no chance of survival.

One of the significant drawbacks of the film lies in its protagonists' characterization. With a fame-hungry social media influencer and a despondent young girl as the main characters, it might be arduous for some viewers to engage in their journey fully. Although it is essential to accept that these two friends would be reckless enough to undertake such a perilous endeavor, it's challenging to overlook the fact that they are both unappealing characters.

Despite this, “Fall” delivers on its promise of heart-pumping action and suspense. While not entirely original, the film's final twist is executed well and adds an extra layer of tension to the already intense story. The film may not be without its flaws, but its beautiful visuals truly elevate “Fall” into a worthwhile cinematic experience.
