That\u2019s because climbing a 2,000-foot TV tower that\u2019s set for demolition is an incredibly dangerous idea. Even if you make the trip all the way to the top, getting down could be very problematic.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s what happens to Becky Connor (<strong>Grace Caroline Currey<\/strong>) and Shiloh Hunter (<strong>Virginia Gardner<\/strong>) in this film. Becky is grieving her late husband, Dan (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/entertainment\/news\/mason-gooding-teases-a-domestic-and-unconventional-scream-7\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Scream 7<\/em>\u2018s <strong>Mason Gooding<\/strong><\/a>), and Shiloh suggested spreading his ashes from on top of the TV tower as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/tag\/youtube\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube<\/a> video and a tribute. As you might have guessed, things go horribly wrong, leaving Shiloh and Becky trapped in the middle of nowhere with no one coming to rescue them. For some, the very idea of being stuck thousands of feet in the air is scarier than any horror movie could ever be.<\/p>\n<h2>The Lead Actors Carry the Movie<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Fall (2022 Movie) Official Trailer - Grace Caroline Currey, Virginia Gardner\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iSspRSGc4Dk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Aside from a minor supporting turn by <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/celebrities\/jeffrey-dean-morgan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jeffrey Dean Morgan<\/a><\/strong> as Becky\u2019s father, James Conner, almost the entire movie revolves\u00a0 around its two leads, Currey and Gardner. Regardless of the poor decision-making skills displayed by their characters, Gardner and Currey are the glue that holds the movie together. The movie needed sympathetic characters for the audience to get behind, because the premise wouldn\u2019t work if viewers were rooting against the leading ladies.<\/p>\n<div class=\"link-related article link-related__with-thumb\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"article__thumbnail related-ab-test\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/entertainment\/news\/must-watch-thrillers-on-netflix-right-now\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-source=\"01\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"article__figure\">\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:56.25%;\" class=\"ratio-based-placeholder\"><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"article__content\">\n<h3 class=\"article__title\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"article__title-link related-ab-test\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/entertainment\/news\/must-watch-thrillers-on-netflix-right-now\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-source=\"01\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\n    <span class=\"related-badge\">Related: <\/span><span class=\"related-title\">21 Must-Watch Thrillers on Netflix Right Now (February 2026)<\/span><\/a><br \/>\n\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\n\t\t\tIn February 2026, Netflix\u00a0is still a fantastic streamer for some of the best thriller movies ever.

Putting two characters through the same ordeal also allowed the story to feature a running dialogue between them. As time passes, certain secrets come out that may damage their friendship. But in their current position, they can\u2019t simply run away from the problems they may have with each other. For better or worse, Becky and Shiloh are in this together to the end.<\/p>\n<h2>\u2018Fall\u2019 Has an Unexpected \u2014 and Wild \u2014 Final Act<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Fall (2022) - VICIOUS Vulture Attack!

It\u2019s enough to say that <em>Fall<\/em>\u2018s third act goes for an audacious twist that makes the audience rethink some of the events that unfolded in the first two thirds of the story.<\/p>\n<p>For some reviewers, that was where the movie went off the rails. But the wild twist does ratchet up the intensity to another level, especially when the prospects of survival are looking particularly grim.
