Netflix viewers say a terrifying horror movie has left them feeling ‘sick to their stomach.’
Everyone has fears, whether it’s spiders or seeing a needle. Some fears are more common than others, like being terrified of heights.
Acrophobia is a condition where people have an intense fear of heights.
People who suffer from this will feel intense anxiety when positioned at a significant height, or even just thinking about it.
Now, there’s a film that addresses this fear and although it’s terrifying, you can’t look away.
The survival thriller, directed by Scott Mann, stars Grace Caroline Currey, Virginia Gardner, Mason Gooding, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan.
Its description reads: “Two best friends Becky and Hunter decide to climb a 2000-foot-tall, abandoned tower. Soon, they find themselves stranded on it after the corroded ladder breaks.”

Someone else says: “I didn’t expect much of this, and it’s a great exercise on cinematic tension, it does get to you. Very pleasantly surprised with this!”
While a fifth admits: “I couldn’t even make it through the trailer.”

He told the publication: “The inception of the height idea came about when we were shooting Final Score at a stadium in the U.K.
“We were filming at height, and off camera, we got into this interesting conversation about height and the fear of falling and how that’s inside of all of us, really, and how that can be a great device for a movie.”
Now, it’s been confirmed that a Fall 2 will follow.
