I had heard that Stephen King gave this one high praise, but also that Google was bragging about it, so I decided to check it out. I'm so glad I did. 

Fall is a 2022 thriller written by Scott Mann and Jonathan Frank, and directed by Scott Mann. The movie showcases two young female thrill seekers who climb a 2,000-foot-tall television broadcasting tower and become stranded at the top. 

The movie opens with a mountain-climbing scene with vivacious protagonist Becky Conner (Grace Caroline Currey), her bestie, Shiloh Hunter (Virginia Gardner), the hot, bosomy blonde, and Becky's husband, Dan (Mason Gooding), who falls to his death. 

Becky crawls into a bottle until her father, James Conner (played by Neganesque Jeffrey Dean Morgan) endeavors to bring her out of it, not allowing her to drive home drunk. We learn her dad wasn't too keen on her late husband.

Hunter shows up to save the day and recommends they climb that old tower, for it's just the thing to bring Becky out of her blue funk. Once there, they find the tower to be too rickety . . . and the stairs fall away after they reach the top. During their struggles to be rescued, Becky learns that Hunter used her wiles to get Dan to cheat--proving her father correct--and that she got Dan to say he loved her, which was something Becky had failed to do. 

Check it out if you haven't: it's killer! Literally!
