Frequently asked about Fall

Common questions people search for, with answers written by us at MoviesPack.

• What is the twist about Hunter in Fall (2022)?▾

  Partway through the ordeal, it's revealed that Hunter actually died from her fall onto the satellite dish much earlier than Becky realized. The Hunter that Becky has been talking to, arguing with, and taking advice from on top of the tower is a hallucination born from Becky's grief, dehydration, and trauma. The shock of finding Hunter's real body inside the dish forces Becky to confront that she has been alone the entire time.

• How does Becky get her phone signal out at the end of Fall?▾

  Becky stuffs her phone inside Hunter's decomposing body and drops the corpse from the top of the B67 TV tower, using the body as padding so the phone survives the 2,000-foot fall. Once the phone hits the ground intact, it finally picks up cellular service and the pre-written text messages and location data send to her father, allowing rescuers to find her. It's a grim, practical solution that mirrors Hunter's earlier joke about using a body as a cushion.

• Why was Becky so reluctant to climb the tower with Hunter?▾

  Becky is in deep depression and alcoholism after watching her husband Dan die during a climbing accident at the start of the film. Hunter pushes the B67 tower climb as a form of exposure therapy and as a way to scatter Dan's ashes, arguing that Becky needs to face heights again to move on. Becky's reluctance is rooted in guilt and grief, which is why the eventual reveal about Hunter's affair with Dan cuts so deeply.

• What is the significance of Hunter's affair with Dan in Fall?▾

  Hunter confesses on the tower that she had been sleeping with Dan before his death, which reframes the entire climb. It's not just a friendship-rebuilding trip — Hunter is partly motivated by her own unresolved guilt over Dan. The revelation isolates Becky emotionally at the worst possible moment and foreshadows that Becky will ultimately have to survive without relying on Hunter, both literally and psychologically.

• Why does the vulture attack them on the tower?▾

  The vultures circle and attack because they perceive Becky and Hunter as dying prey — a recurring motif that the tower is essentially a 2,000-foot deathbed. Hunter kills one of the birds, and Becky later uses its carcass as a food source to stay alive, reinforcing the film's theme of survival requiring brutal, instinctive choices. The vulture also symbolically marks the moment Becky stops being passive about her own survival.
