For best friends Becky and Hunter, life is about overcoming fear. But after climbing 610 meters to the top of an abandoned radio tower, they find themselves in a dead end situation with no way to get down. Experienced female climbers are put to the test as they fight for survival against the elements, lack of supplies and dizzying heights.
It wasn’t until seeing Fall that I realized how much I like these survival movies. 127 hours, Adrift – they are all about how a person reaches the limits (and maybe reaches beyond them) of their abilities in an effort to survive. With Adrift, you can easily find one more common and very interesting element.
In my reviews, I often write about the tension in the movies I choose – the winner of this category from now on is Becky and Hunter.
The movie’s beginning is a little “too simple”, but as soon as the girls start climbing, you will spend at least an hour worrying about them. I even had a nightmare thanks to particular winged creatures flying around the tower, which doesn’t even happen to me in horror movies.
So… who wants to climb up there?
