Chris is a Senior News Writer for Collider. He can be found in an IMAX screen, with his eyes watering and his ears bleeding for his own pleasure. He joined the news team in 2022 and accidentally fell upwards into a senior position despite his best efforts.
For reasons unknown, he enjoys analyzing box office receipts, giant sharks, and has become known as the go-to man for all things Bosch, Mission: Impossible and Christopher Nolan in Collider’s news division. Recently, he found himself yeehawing along to the Dutton saga on the Yellowstone Ranch.
He is proficient in sarcasm, wit, Photoshop and working unfeasibly long hours. Amongst his passions sit the likes of the history of the Walt Disney Company, the construction of theme parks, steam trains and binge-watching Gilmore Girls with a coffee that is just hot enough to scald him.
His obsession with the Apple TV+ series Silo is the subject of mockery within the Senior News channel, where his feelings about Taylor Sheridan’s work are enough to make his fellow writers roll their eyes.

Lots of films find interesting ways to make you uncomfortable, that’s for sure. Creativity can be a great thing at times, but you know what’s also just as scary? Simplicity. In 2022, a film was released without much fanfare but promised just one thing: fear. The next 90 minutes involved psychological terror, very angry birds, and a vomit-inducing episode of vertigo. Now, luckily for us, we’re getting more. But the bad news? If you want to see what set up the forthcoming sequel, you’ve got less than **24 hours **to do so.
Netflix is officially removing Fall on August 18, meaning there are only a few hours remaining to watch the vertigo-inducing thriller on the streaming service. Fall stars Grace Caroline Currey as Becky Connor, a climber struggling with the death of her husband, Dan. Her thrill-seeking best friend Hunter, played by Virginia Gardner, convinces her to climb an abandoned 2,000-foot television tower in the middle of the desert, where Becky intends to scatter Dan’s ashes. They make it to the top. Getting back down is where things go spectacularly wrong. If you don’t like heights, maybe don’t watch this one. And it’ll make you look at birds in a whole different light. Ornithologists, look away now if you want to preserve the magic.
Your answers point to the world your instincts were built for. This is the universe your temperament, your survival instincts, and your particular brand of stubbornness were made for.
You took the red pill a long time ago — probably before anyone offered it to you. You’re a systems thinker who can’t help but notice the seams in things.
The wasteland doesn’t reward the clever or the well-connected — it rewards those who are hard to kill and harder to break. That’s you.
You’d survive here because you know how to exist in moral grey areas without losing yourself completely.
Arrakis is the most hostile environment in the known universe — and you are precisely the kind of person it rewards.
The galaxy far, far away is vast, loud, and in a constant state of violent political upheaval — and you wouldn’t have it any other way.
The simple premise was a winning one for audiences, as you could expect. It was made for around $3 million and went on to gross over $20 million, which is a mighty fine profit no matter how you look at it. Currey and Gardner carry almost the entire movie themselves as Becky and Hunter, while Jeffrey Dean Morgan (The Walking Dead) plays Becky’s father, James, and Mason Gooding (Scream) appears as her late husband, Dan.
There’s also particularly good timing for anyone discovering Fall before it disappears. A sequel, Fall 2: Deadpoint, is heading to theaters on September 2. The official synopsis states: “From the survival hit that tapped into the fear of heights and left two friends stranded at the top of a tower comes a climb that goes higher, gets deadlier, and hits with next-level adrenaline. In Fall 2: Deadpoint, two friends take on new heights in Thailand, where unpredictable terrain, extreme exposure, and nowhere to hide push survival further than ever before.”
Fall runs for 107 minutes and is streaming on Netflix for one more day before leaving on August 18.
