High Lane

"High Lane" (Vertige, 2009) is a French survival thriller you can watch online on iFILM. Five friends pick a climbing route in the mountains — one that has been closed to the public. They know. They go anyway.

Early danger is structural: a rope bridge collapses, old gear fails, bear traps appear where they have no business being. Then the group realizes something else is up here with them. Director Abel Ferry shot on location in Croatia, using real altitude to make even the non-horror scenes feel precarious. Two fears run in parallel throughout — falling and being hunted — and the film does not let either one go. Watch "High Lane" online on iFILM.
