Although I would not describe myself as suffering from acrophobia, I do get very uncomfortable with heights – especially in an open environment.

So, when I stumbled across this on Netflix the other day, I found myself immediately triggered to the point where I was shouting out words of caution to the characters on the screen. Of course, neither of the lead actors followed my advice, and I had to quit the movie halfway through.

I won’t get into an actual film review here, (for the hour or so that I was able to watch) but what I will say is that the visual effects – both digital and trick photography – are brilliant.

My understanding is that part of the tower was built on top of a mountain, and was only around 100 feet tall, allowing the film makers to create the illusion of great height, as seen in the photos above.

When digital effects are added, the results are incredible.

The number of ‘bad’ movies I have been unable to finish would be too many to count – but never have I stopped watching a film due to my (very mild) fear of heights – not until now.

‘Fall’ is currently streaming on Netflix – if you’re up to the challenge.
