There is something about movies based on survival that is even more chilling than horror movies. When there is a good story, the audience is so engaged to the point where they feel that it is they who need to be saved. Fall is another such survival thriller that keeps the audience on their toes until the very end. The movie is beautifully made in a way that all the scenes have a great impact. The calm beginning of the film almost makes it so unpredictable as the film keeps getting more and more intense. There are psychological twists good enough to mess with your head and keep you more involved. The plot development, choice of locations, choice of cast, etc., is all exceptionally well done. The tension build-up that the film causes is remarkable and helps it stand out. One of the best movies of the survival genre for sure.

The filmmakers had considered green screen or digital sets, but ultimately opted for the real thing. They decided to build the upper portion of the tower on top of a mountain so that the actors would really appear to be thousands of feet in the air, even though in real life they were never more than a 100 feet (30 meters) off the ground.
The film's original dialogue, which included over 30 F-bombs, was dubbed out to make this a PG-13 film once Lionsgate picked up the rights to the film. This was done using an artificial intelligence dubbing technology system that alters onscreen mouth movements. It was later released uncut on BluRay, in the UK.
The 2000 ft B67 TV Tower that Becky and Hunter climb is a real abandoned tower. According to the director, the film was based on the KXTV/KOVR radio tower that is also known as the Sacramento Joint Venture Tower. It is a guyed communication tower in Walnut Grove, California. Many base jumpers throughout the years have illegally trespassed on the property and have climbed the tower in order to jump off and parachute to the ground. Also the Walnut Grove's location has made it the site of a rare collection of very tall radio and television transmission towers. The KXTV/KOVR radio tower is a 2,049 ft (625 m). Likewise the imaginary TV tower depicted in the film is also claimed to be above 2,000 feet tall according to Hunter.
After production finished, Lionsgate Films acquired the film's distribution rights without a minimum guarantee for the producers. After it did well in test screenings, Lionsgate decided to release it in theaters.
According to director Scott Mann, a smaller-scale version of the real 2000-ft B67 TV Tower was built by the same company that built the original B67 tower. Sections were rebuilt on the plateau of a 2000-ft cliff in the Shadow Mountains of the Mojave Desert so that filming occurred at the height of the actual TV tower.
"Becky: Life is fleeting. Life is short, too short. So you gotta use every moment. You have to do something that makes you feel alive, and that shit, that would spread that message far and wide."
"Hunter: [Becky pees off the top of the tower] At least you didn't have to shit."
