Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe film was shot entirely practically, meaning no soundstage, nor greenscreen, nor CGI. The actors and actresses were truly suspended over fifty feet in the air on the side of a real mountain in Utah.
- GoofsSki resorts send "liftees" to inspect the lifts at the end of every shift to prevent this very scenario from happening.
- Quotes
Parker O'Neil: Okay then, Lynch, what *is* the worst way to die?
Joe Lynch: What...
Parker O'Neil: No, no, no, you have an answer for everything. What is your biggest fear?
Joe Lynch: That's easy. The Sarlacc pit.
Parker O'Neil: I'm sorry, the what?
Joe Lynch: The Sarlacc pit. From "Return of the Jedi". Uh, hello. Being slowly digested over a thousand years - worst death ever.
Dan Walker: [in a mocking whiny voice] Dan, why don't I ever have a girlfriend? Why?

Ever.
You get so involved with their situation and you're sucked into it, you feel their pain and horror. Ir leaves you feeling unsettled. A lot like 'Buried' did if you have seen that film.
95% of the film is set in the same location but this doesn't mean it is boring at all. Absolutely not.
So be prepared for an unsettling experience if you choose to watch this film.
By no means is it bad though, it just motivates powerful feelings.
