10 Stunning Movies Like The Fall You Must Watch

In the terrifying survival movie Fall, two women get stuck at the top of a 2,000-foot TV tower. The whole movie is scary, especially if you’re afraid of heights, but the ending really hits home. The movies below are movies like the fall and would make a great double feature for making you feel anxious.

The movie Frozen (2010) comes to mind right away because it also has a small group of people who are stuck up high and don’t know how to get back down. Other great scary films that make you feel like you’ve been punched in the gut are The Descent, The Mist, and 47 Meters Down. Happy Death Day is a great choice if you like your twisty endings with a funny side. The movies Oculus and Would You Rather, on the other hand, are great if you want to be shocked when the credits roll.

Here are some films that are movies like the Fall. Vote for the ones you like best. After that, go to your favourite streaming service and watch any films you missed.

10 Stunning Movies Like The Fall:

1. Buried (2010):

Before Ryan Reynolds made people laugh as the Merc with the Mouth in the ‘Deadpool’ films, his larger-than-life character was stuck in a 6-foot-by-3-foot-by-18-inch box and couldn’t get out. Under the direction of Rodrigo Cortés, “Buried” follows Reynolds as Paul, an American truck driver stationed in Iraq who wakes up buried in a place no one knows about and with little air and time running out. It’s a rare one-man show, and Reynolds is in the dark and scared as backup actors check in on his Blackberry (remember those?) and the only thing that lights up the room is a Zippo lighter.

There’s no question that Reynolds is a megastar now, thanks to his lightning-fast comedic timing and charm. But this movie is still worth seeing just to see how he got there. The movie does a good job of dressing up Reynolds lying down for 95 minutes while he does everything he can to get himself up and out of the scary situation he’s in, thanks to wonderful photography by Eduard Grau. People who are scared of small places should probably skip this, but anyone who wants to see the man behind Wade Wilson before he made a name for himself with d**k jokes and dressed-up F-bombs should check out one of Reynolds’ most underrated films.

2. Frozen (2010):

Not as many people have seen the Adam Green movie with the same name, which came out three years before Disney’s Frozen. In the scary movie Frozen, three friends get stuck on a chairlift at night, after the ski slopes have closed for the day and will be closed for a whole week because of a storm. This movie is very scary, with people taking their skin off and breaking their limbs, and they end up being eaten by wolves. It goes well with movies like The Fall, so see both at the same time.

3. The Descent (2005):

This is another deep, dark story with some scary monsters thrown in for good measure. Neil Marshall’s “The Descent” is one of the more fantastical stories on this list, but that doesn’t make it any less scary with its creepy creature effects and isolated setting. In the 2005 horror movie, a group of thrill-seeking women go into a cave that isn’t marked and get stuck. In the darkness, they find something horrible waiting for them.

People were expecting to find something scary in the depths after Marshall’s cult hit werewolf movie “Dog Soldiers,” but the best thing about Marshall’s horror is the fear that forms in the small places he forces his characters into early on. Even if it’s just “a poxy cave,” the walls the animals start coming out of have already done enough before they get inside. Each spot on the screen that is carefully lit up and each dark spot helps to raise the stress level so that when the blood starts to spill, it does so quickly. And who can forget “The Descent’s” brilliantly sad ending, which wraps things up nicely and doesn’t need a sequel at all, even though one came out four years later?

4. 47 Meters Down (2017):

Mandy Moore and Claire Holt play sisters Lisa and Kate in 47 Meters Down. After Lisa gets dumped, she and her sister Kate go to Mexico to have fun and let off steam. Kate agrees to go watch sharks from a diving cage with two guys from the area that her sister made her do it. Something goes wrong, and they end up stuck in the metal cage 47 meters below the surface of the water. If you want to watch a movie that will make you worry and has some not-so-happy turns, 47 Meters Down is a great choice.

5. Vertical Limit (2000):

Every once in a while, a director would put a flag in a big-budget mountain movie. Martin Campbell, who directed “Goldeneye” and “Casino Royale,” did that with “Vertical Limit” in 2000. An unorganised group of people led by Chris O’Donnell, Scott Glenn, and a Ben Mendelsohn who was unknown at the time climb K2 to find Peter Garrett’s (O’Donnell) sister, who has gone missing with another group. Through dangerous weather and explosive means, it leads to a nail-biting road with Bill Paxton in top-notch weasel mode as Elliot Vaughn, the cocky billionaire who isn’t the cool philanthropist he’s pretending to be.

While “Vertical Limit” starts off with a great scene that sets the tone for the rest of the movie, Mother Nature kills off one by one of the brave rescues throughout the running time. Climber Montgomery Wick (Glenn), who is angry and has a score to settle, says things like, “Up there you’re not dying, you’re dead.” Peter is running for his life as Wick tries to ruin his plans. It may seem a bit out of date now, but sometimes all you need is Ben Mendelsohn yelling like an angry Australian while the original “Man on Fire” makes it way too cool outside.

6. Oculus (2013):

What is real and what is just in your head? Oculus makes you think about that. Oculus is a movie written and directed by Mike Flanagan about two brothers, Tim (Brenton Thwaites) and Kaylie (Karen Gillan), who think that their problems and their parents’ deaths are caused by an old mirror. People thought Tim did it and sent him to a mental hospital. Meanwhile, Kaylie spent her whole life studying the mirror to show that her brother is not guilty. Both Oculus and Fall are dark films that go well together.

7. A Lonely Place To Die (2011):

Melissa George plays a climber in “A Lonely Place to Die” who finds a little girl buried alive in the Scottish Highlands. The movie takes the usual plot points of a survival movie and turns them into an interesting thriller. The men who put her there quickly go after the people who saved her, which turns into a fight for life with George’s hero trying not to get caught in some shady business.

 There is a lot of drama in “A Lonely Place to Die,” but it’s easy to skip over because of the dangerous Scottish Highlands and how director Julian Gilbey moves through them.

The actress who has been in films like “Triangle” and “30 Days of Night” gets another chance to be in a dark movie, which she loves by the end. With Sean Harris (Solidar Lane in the “Mission: Impossible” movies) as the permanently chilled Sean Harris, “A Lonely Place to Die” might be one of the most underrated movies on this list, and you should look for it.

8. Would You Rather (2012):

Would You Rather is about a woman named Iris (Brittany Snow) who is having a hard time paying for the care her leukaemia brother needs. Iris goes to a dinner party hosted by a generous man named Shepard Lambrick to try to win money to pay for her brother’s bills. There is a “parlour game” at the party, and the winner gets to take home a big prize. The competitors don’t know this, but only one of them will make it through game night alive. Movies like The Fall, Would You Rather is a terrible place to deal with stress.

9. Phone Booth (2003):

Phone booths may be a dying way to talk to people, but Colin Farrell spends most of Joel Schumacher’s drama in one, and it will keep you interested. An actor who is currently nominated for an Oscar plays Stu Shepard, a talent agent in New York City. He makes a mistake when he answers the phone to a shooter who has his sights set on the booth. From then on, everyone in “Phone Booth” is looking at Farrell while Kiefer Sutherland’s raspy voice keeps our hero on the spot and turns his life upside down.

Officer Ed Ramey (Forest Whitaker), Stu’s mistress Pam (Katie Holmes), and his wife Kelly (Radha Mitchell) are all risking their lives to get close to the caller who hasn’t been named. Schumacher does a great job of building anxiety. His outfit changes in a phone booth are better than Clark Kent’s when he needs to. Having it happen in a busy place like Times Square only adds to the drama, and the main character of the movie is still stuck behind four glass walls and a phone line. Since Farrell is back in the spotlight thanks to “The Banshees of Inesherin,” “The Lobster,” and his time in Gotham City, this is a great chance to see some of his early work and how well he did with it.

10. The Autopsy of Jane Doe (2016):

Tom, the small town sheriff, played by Brian Cox, and his son Austin, played by Emile Hirsch, must work together to find out how a young woman named Jane Doe died by morning. Right away, the injuries lead them to be confused because they point to different ideas. The body looks like it was just killed, but the eyes of the dead woman make it look like she’s been dead for days. From then on, things only get worse. Doors lock themselves, lights go off, and more bodies in the mortuary go missing. This father and son are going to have a rough night, just like Becky and her friend in Fall.
