Netflix’s latest hit movie is a must watch and one of its most terrifying yet

If you have a fear of heights then you might want to give Netflix’s latest movie a miss. Fall is a acrophobic’s worst dream as a it focuses on a pair of intrepid climbers who set off to climb an 2000ft abandoned radio tower in America.

As you can probably guess, things don’t go to plan and there are plenty of vertigo-inducing scenes throughout.

The movie has been directed by Scott Mann. Before this, Mann was best known for underrated 2015 thriller Heist which starred Robert DeNiro, Jeffry Dean Morgan and David Bautista.

Dean Morgan returns for Fall as the father of one of the climbers but credit has to go to Grace Caroline Currey (Shazam: Fury of the Gods) and Virginia Gardner (Halloween) who play Becky and Hunter, the thrillseekers who get stuck on the tower.

The movie is one of those strange ones that is on different platforms in the UK and US, thanks to its distribution deal. So, if you are in the US trying to look up Fall on Netflix you won’t find it - it is on Hulu, though, where - according to FlixPatrol - it also topping its movie charts.

We’ve watched it and it’s a fun but fraught watch. There is a palpable sense of fear throughout, something that viewers have been mentioning on Twitter - even Netflix put out a funny warning saying the film would make you feel “a little wobbly”.

Almost every single shot from Fall (2022) – a film about two women who get stranded after climbing to the top of a 2000ft radio tower – will make you feel a bit wobbly.

When it was first released on the big screen, it got decent reviews, too, with Fall having that rare thing: a Rotten Tomatoes score, where the audience and critic scores are matched at a decent 79%.

Empire says about the movie: “A white-knuckle disaster in the sky, Fall does exactly and only what it says on the tin. Do look down!”
