"FALL" (2022) Directed by Scott Mann #fall #movies #moviereview #horrorstories #reading
Brilliantly directed by Scott Mann (The Tournament, Heist and Final Score) and very ably assisted by the cinematography of MacGregor and a haunting musical score from Tim Despic, Fall pleasantly surprised me as well as reinforcing my ageing fear of heights! I love a film or piece of escapism whereby I have to remind myself that my fears, anxieties and terrors are completely and ridiculously irrational and this film hit that mark again and again, even and especially so the seemingly calm and serene ascent up the 2,000 feet tall TV Tower or “B67”. Leaving terra firma for the ascent even on a crystal clear day had me wincing and gripping the armrest of my seat and our two on screen heroines “Becky Connor” (Grace Caroline Currey) and “Shiloh Hunter” (Virginia Gardner) were barely a hundred feet in the air!
Described as a “survival thriller” I’d argue vehemently that this film also resides in the horror/psychological horror category as Mann and MacGregor continually rotate their moving cameras around the young thrill seeking ladies amid the loosening of rusty bolts, the fraying of connecting cables and the falling rungs of the ladder they are both ascending. Connected by just harnesses and fifteen feet of rope, swirling and swooping camera angles follow the climbing ladies as we see them approaching halfway, then the turn onto an exposed, open to the elements ladder leading to their final ascent and their goal, the summit of the “fourth tallest structure in the United States”, 2,000 feet high above the desert plains below.
