Netflix's Fall tells the story of two women who find themselves trapped at the top of a 2,000ft TV tower - but is the film actually based in reality?
Netflix’s Fall tells the story of two young girls who attempt to climb an old TV tower, and while the concept may initially seem far-fetched, the film’s narrative is actually based on a real location that inspired the story. Fall follows Becky and Hunter, two best friends who are attempting to overcome their fears and take control of their own lives by pushing the limits of what they can do.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Fall made a huge splash on Netflix thanks to its intense filmmaking and unbelievable premise, which have led to this survival thriller getting a surprise sequel announcement. In the movie, the two protagonists are left completely alone, with limited supplies to keep them alive and no signal to contact their families or call for help.
The idea of heights and falling was clearly important throughout the process of writing and directing Fall, toying with one of humanity’s most common and universal fears. Although Fall wasn’t a huge commercial hit, it still gathered many fans thanks to its consistently frightening premise.
The B67 TV Tower Is Actually Real When searching for the right location for their film, Fall’s team came across the KXTV Tower in Walnut Grove, California. Standing at 2,049 feet tall, the tower is reportedly the seventh-tallest manmade structure ever to have been built , and it made a perfect substitute for the film’s fictional tower. The structure really brings the film to life, and it’s one of many reasons why celebrities, such as Stephen King, have praised Fall’s use of horror.
The director also shared that they “scoured all around California, and it was during COVID, so we'd just drive and drive and drive to these random remote locations, to try and get access. A lot of them had kind of radio masts and things at the top of these mountains and you're just finding the right kind of top of a mountain with the right cliff and the right sunlight positioning.
