First reactions to Brian Duffield’s survival thriller Whale fall have hit social media, and it appears that lead actor Austin Abrams’ banner year continues, even as the characters he plays continue to suffer in more elaborate and gruesome ways.

20th Century Studios held screenings for Whale fall last week, including a gala screening in London. Full reviews of the film are under embargo until October 14, with Whale fall in theaters October 16.

I just got demolished. resident EvilAbrams plays another ordinary man having the worst day ever. Whale fall. The film’s synopsis reads: After the death of his father (Josh Brolin), Jay Gardiner (Austin Abrams) goes diving off the central coast of California in search of his remains, but is swallowed by a massive sperm whale. While trapped in his womb with only an hour of oxygen, Jay realizes that the hard-earned lessons his father passed on to him could be the key to his escape.

In addition to Abrams and Brolin, the cast includes Elisabeth Shue, John Ortiz, Jane Levy and Emily Rudd. Duffield wrote the screenplay with Daniel Kraus, based on Kraus’ 2023 novel of the same name.

Duffield’s previous directing efforts include the acclaimed 2023 sci-fi horror film Nobody will save you (which criminally streamed straight to Hulu) and the 2020 coming-of-age dark comedy film Spontaneous. He also wrote Jane has a gun (2015), Underwater (2020) and Love and monsters (2020).
