Initially, Hunter is the risk-taker of the two.
The death seems to be another of Becky’s horrific nightmares, which have plagued her since her husband plunged to his death.Ī bigger clue is how Hunter dramatically changes. But then Becky wakes up again, and Hunter is sitting beside her.
Vultures swarm in the darkness, bringing scares before revealing Hunter’s bloody corpse on the platform. For instance, Hunter disappears from the platform in the night. But how to get Hunter back up?Īfter the backpack recovery sequence, there are several clues that all is not what it seems. With some “good MacGyver shit,” she attaches the backpack to the rope, where Becky can haul it up. Valiantly or foolishly, she unhooks herself from the safety rope and takes a risky leap to the dish. Almost immediately, Hunter and her one remaining red sneaker are scrambling to get a grip on the pole. So, desperate times call for desperate measures: Hunter goes down the bit of rope they have to recover the backpack that Becky accidentally dropped on an outcropping dish antenna. Thirsty, starving, and exhausted, they’re getting weaker by the hour.
They assume her 60,000 social media followers haven’t gotten the call to action, and the phone is smashed to useless bits below. 24 hours have passed since they tried dropping Hunter’s phone in a shoe with a distress message in the hopes that it might catch the cell reception at the base of the tower. Hunter’s dirty secret of infidelity is out, stinking up that platform worse than Becky’s festering leg wound. There’s a chance that these two fighting friends might pull together to survive, but even as it seems like they just might make it after all, the movie has one last gruesome surprise in store: One is actually already dead. Then, with emotions already at a boil, Hunter makes the shattering declaration that she cheated with Becky’s beau before he bit it in a deadly climb gone wrong a year back. Inevitably, disaster strikes, leaving the women trapped atop the tower on a creaky platform, with no food, no water, no way down, and no cell reception that would allow them to call for help. So, let’s drop into spoilers.įallfollows recent widow Becky (Grace Caroline Currey) and her bestie Hunter (Virginia Gardner) as they climb a 2,000-foot pole to spread the ashes of Becky's late husband. But there's something more twisted that ties these two films together. While 47 Meters Down plunged audiences into shark-infested waters, Fall perches us high atop a dilapidated radio tower, where vultures and gravity itself threaten to destroy our plucky heroines. Both films follow a pair of deeply bonded women who must pull together to survive an extreme sporting trip gone fatally off the rails. Fall is being promoted as "from the producers of 47 Meters Down," which is a clever move for two films that could be sisters - or a future cult classic double feature.
