Stupidity: After eating the bird, why didn't Becky send her phone down inside the bird, but instead climbed down to put her phone inside Hunter's body?
Fall (2022)

Directed by: Scott Mann
Starring: Virginia Gardner, Grace Caroline Currey, Mason Gooding
Genres: Thriller
Factual error: While the "life hack" of charging using a North American plug into a light socket might work, the use of a wedding ring to shorten the distance between the charger prongs and the fixtures, as depicted in the movie, would definitely not work, as there are two prongs that both need connection. All the wedding ring would do is to short out the connection.
Becky: What was Cactus Jack's name when he wore a mask?
Hunter: Mankind.
Trivia: For the film, a real radio tower was built, albeit significantly shorter. The film was shot on a tall mountain, to give the illusion that the tower was much taller. A blue screen was placed below it. The two main female characters did their own stunts.
Question: There is a running theory that Becky actually did not survive, and that her father was imagining reuniting with her was actually his brain reacting to him seeing her body, whether or not first responders were on scene. So, if Becky actually was rescued, how could the helicopter have gotten close enough to reach her without the satellite collapsing due to the helicopter's downwash or the propellers hitting the tower itself?
Answer: There's no indication that the ending is anything but real; the other twist in the film is heavily foreshadowed through dialogue, camera framing, and so on, none of which applies to the ending. A helicopter could have hovered above the tower and lowered a rescue basket/rope to Becky, as she's less than 100 feet from the very top. Given that the tower was probably constructed using a helicopter to position the final pieces of the structure (a common practice for communications towers of this height), there's no reason why it couldn't have held up. The tower itself is never shown to be weakened or compromised, only the ladder affixed to the outside.
