Death Falls (1991)
"Step Away From The Car And Take Off Your Pants!"...

The main problem with DEATH FALLS is due to a misunderstanding. It's labeled as a drama / thriller. Well, it is certainly a drama, but the thrills are sporadic and not central to the film. The title may also suggest a more suspenseful sort of movie.

It's more of a poignant story of friendship and coming to the end of one's life. There is some humor throughout, and yes, Jeffrey Combs is in it. He provides the maniacal, driven antagonist as only he can do.

Rip Torn is Dub, who helps his friend, Hals (Roberts Blossom) to return to the titular place. There's some adventure involved along the way. This is a character-driven tale, so, don't expect car chases or something blowing up every few seconds. This movie requires patience.

It's reminiscent of some of the films from the early 1970's, that had great plots and interesting, more fleshed-out characters...
