Hope you’re not scared of confined spaces…


We can exclusively tell you that on October 28th, Anchor Bay Entertainment will release the intense suspense thriller FREE FALL on Blu-ray and DVD. The feature directorial debut of Malek Akkad (producer of the Halloween franchise), FREE FALL has been billed as “a nail-biting journey through the ruthless and potentially deadly corporate jungle,” and apparently does for elevators what Hitchcock’s PSYCHO did for showers.

You can check out FREE FALL’s cover art below. The film stars D.B. Sweeney, Sarah Butler (I Spit On Your Grave), Ian Gomez and the immortal Malcolm McDowell.

The plot:

A top executive is killed in an apparent suicide leap from the skyscraper headquarters of Gault Capital. But when the dead man’s loyal protégé Jane Porter (Butler) uncovers some startling criminal evidence, the corporation calls in their “crisis manager” Frank (Sweeney) to silence her forever. Eluding her pursuer, Jane soon finds herself trapped in an elevator between floors on a holiday weekend in a very empty building.

With their cat and mouse game seemingly at check-mate, Jane must summon all her courage and wits to escape. But she soon discovers that surviving a cold-blooded killer may mean a very long drop to the ground floor.


The FREE FALL discs include a behind-the-scenes featurette.
