Fall

Becky and Hunter on top of an abandoned radio tower in Fall.

Cinematographer MacGregor (Vivarium) does a brilliant job of capturing the tower’s dizzying heights. If you’re not a fan of high places, this movie will make your gut drop as MacGregor swoops the camera above the duo to show you just how harrowing their position is. The film manages to make every rusty creak and flimsy weld into a terrifying threat. The image of the girls trying to navigate a platform that’s about 4 feet in diameter evoked more genuine feeling than any of the poorly written melodrama.

Verdict: Brilliant cinematography distracts from a flimsy script. Check it out on streaming.
