British director Howard Ford takes us into the realm of deep height tension in his thriller THE LEDGE.
Two friends, Kelly (Brittany Ashworth) and Sophie (Anais Parello) are on a climbing holiday in Italy when they encounter four males, led by Joshua (Ben Lamb) who are keen to make their acquaintance. A drunken campfire jibe or two about who has the courage to climb a specific part of a mountain range descends into terror and for the two women, it is a fight to survive…
Combining the style of CLIFFHANGER (1993), DEADLY PURSUIT (SHOOT TO KILL) (1988) and DELIVERANCE (1972), THE LEDGE proves to be a very tense addition to the people-vs-nature genre that has provided so many memorable moments over the decades. Ford continues to show his value as one of the UK’s best visual storytellers.
