Fall

Grace Caroline Currey and Virginia Gardner star as Becky and Hunter, respectively, in the movie Fall. They're rock climbers who decide to scale an outdated communications tower so Becky can scatter the ashes of her dearly deceased husband.

Of course, the tower--which is due to be taken down--is in really bad shape. After they've climbed to the top, the tower falls apart to the point where the girls can't get back down using the ladder.

Hunter takes off one shoe and sock and stuffs her cell phone into it to cushion the blow when she throws it to the ground. There's no reception on top of the tower, but there is at the bottom. And she hopes that a pre-arranged message will be sent once her phone drops within range. However, this doesn't work.

Becky then removes both of her shoes (she wears no socks) and throws them to the ground in an effort to get the attention of a guy just walking around with his dog at the base of the tower. This doesn't work, either.

The result of all of this is that, for the rest of the film, Hunter has one bare foot, while Becky goes completely barefoot.

The barefoot goodness starts at 53 minutes.

Fall was a hard flick for me to watch, because of it's sheer intensity and the way the film expertly uses the extreme heights to add to the tension.

But the BF scenes more than made it worth climbing the tower for me. Fall is highly recommended overall.
