If you’ve been couch-potatoing this summer, the new trailer for Fall 2: Deadpoint will likely have you feeling validated. Go outside? To what — climb a cliff face, only to be stranded with your best friend in mid-air?
Being in a very high place with no cell reception and only your bestie was a recipe for disaster in 2022’s Fall, which had a sensationally WTF ending.
For its sequel, the concept is similar, but the cast is new. Harriet Slater and Arsema Thomas star as two climbers eager to tackle Thailand’s Mount Kwan. But when their climb goes sideways, they’ll have to combat vertigo-inducing heights, exposure, and maybe even hallucinations as they struggle to survive.
Having seen Fall but not its sequel (yet!), my takeaways for summer travel are: Do make plans with your bestie! Don’t do it at great heights, and avoid activities that may require using your friend’s corpse as a DIY phone case.
Might we suggest a movie night instead?
Fall 2: Deadpoint opens in theaters Sept. 2.
