Lionsgate has released the full trailer for Fall 2: Deadpoint, the follow-up to its 2022 survival thriller, ahead of a world premiere on August 7.
The sequel picks up after the death of Hunter, the protagonist of the original film, in which two friends became trapped at a terrifying height. This time the story centers on Jax, who grows close to her late sister’s friend Luce. The two travel to Thailand to tackle a dangerous route on Mount Kwan, only to find themselves stranded above a chasm in much the same situation as the first film.
Harriet Slater, Arsema Thomas, Virginia Gardner, Grace Caroline Currey, and Adam Rose star. Twin brothers Michael and Peter Spierig, known for the Ethan Hawke film Predestination, direct. Scott Mann, who helmed the original, co-wrote the screenplay.
The 2022 film holds 79 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. Critics praised its sense of immersion, achieved on a three-million-dollar budget, but faulted the script as formulaic and certain scenes as implausible.
