Movies that feel likeFall (2022)

For best friends Becky and Hunter, life is all about conquering fears and pushing limits. But after they climb 2,000 feet to the top of a remote, abandoned radio tower, they find themselves stranded with no way down. Now Becky and Hunter's expert climbing skills will be put to the ultimate test as they desperately fight to survive the elements, a lack of supplies, and vertigo-inducing heights.

If you loved Fall, the closest films we have are Fracture (2007), The Devil All the Time (2020) and You Were Never Really Here (2017). All three share Fall's tense and melancholy feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Cell 211 (2009).
