Scott Mann’s Fall takes the survival genre to new heights... literally. What could have easily been a hokey little survival flick, instead becomes an edge of your seat thrill ride from start to finish. This is in part due to the practical filmmaking that was done. No green screen or soundstages here folks. There’s a real authenticity to the dizzying heights on display, and one might wonder if these actors were even “acting” that high up. Trust me, the camera work is expertly wince-inducing! Are there moments of “cheese” and predictability? Of course, but the movie leans into it, playing with our expectations every step of the way. We all know something will go wrong, so the teases are purposeful, building the tension up until the “ahem” dropping point. In short, Fall knows exactly what kind of movie it is and doesn’t pretend to be anything else. If there is an issue, it is the “soap opera” filler that’s been thrown in to the mix. Ok, so there needed to be something to pad the 1 hour and 47-minute runtime, but some of these character developments are on the lame side. Luckily, the movie makes up for it with plenty of satisfying thrills. Yes, it’s probably safe to say that most audiences will fall for this late Summer offering!
