pulling up Hunter

* {{Fanservice}}: Hunter spends the majority of the movie wearing a low-cut tank top and push-up bra providing ample footage that draws attention to her cleavage (almost enough for a DrinkingGame). Justified and Discussed, as she is a social media influencer and, in her own words, [[SexSells "tits for clicks"]]. Once she's exposed to the elements and dehydrated it quickly swerves into FanDisservice. [[spoiler:Especially when we see her cadaver.]]

* UnratedEdition: The UK Blu-Ray contains the "Theatrical release" and the "Uncut version." The Uncut version is ''two seconds shorter'' than the theatrical release (Theatrical is 1:46:52, Uncut is 1:46:50), and the whole package is rated 15, so don't get your hopes up if you're looking for a festival of extreme content.

* CirclingVultures: The tower is located in a desert where vultures circle, and they're even seen feeding on live prey that has become too weak. Vultures harass Becky after she gets a festering leg wound from a mishap, and very nearly make her [[spoiler:fall off the top of the tower while charging the drone]]. Becky eventually turns the tables with a WoundedGazelleGambit to lure a vulture to eat from her before she can kill and it it herself.

*** [[spoiler:After Becky "pulls" Hunter back up, she doesn't interact with any other objects again: she doesn't touch the water or the bag, lets Becky control the drone, and Becky's the one to make the climb to the top to charge the drone's battery. The clearest example is when Becky drops the backpack after being attacked by the vulture, and Hunter simply watches it plummet to the ground instead of trying to catch it (which Becky even calls her out on). Hunter's supposed hand injuries rationalize this.]]

*** After the backpack retrieval, Becky has a nightmare of [[spoiler:waking up alone on the tower with vultures harassing her before seeing Hunter dead on the signal dish below them.]] When the reality of the situation is revealed, it seems very likely this "nightmare" was actually a moment of waking lucidity.


Added DiffLines:

* NoOneCouldSurviveThat: Invoked during the mission to retrieve the backpack down on the signal dish. When Hunter is being pulled back up, the rope slips and she falls, and Becky sits back in horror and shock, certain Hunter died, before very slowly and reluctantly peering over the edge to see her hanging on the backpack, alive and unshaken, but with injured hands. [[spoiler:Turns out, Becky was right the first time--no one really ''could'' survive that, and everything of Hunter after Becky peered over the edge of the platform was Becky brute-forcing her perceptions to hallucinate that Hunter had lived, which lasts until she has to confront the fact that her escape plan requires going down to the dish where she fell and died.]]

Being [[spoiler: scavengers, vultures have evolved such that their bodies can tolerate ingesting millions upon millions of micro-organisms]] which would be fatal to most other species, including humans.

** After Becky breaks down upon realizing [[spoiler: Hunter is dead and that she was just hallucinating in denial of being alone up on the tower]], she records a tearful parting video for her father and the next scene focuses on a vulture swooping down on her still body. It turns out she was feigning death to lure said vulture, kill it and eat its flesh for sustenance.

* {{Bowdlerise}}: The film was edited before its release to receive a PG-13 rating from the MPA; all but one of the uses of "fuck" were redubbed and the mouth movements were digitally altered. This censored version was released in theaters, even in countries like Canada and the UK where the movie's language doesn't make a difference for its rating. So far, the uncensored version has only been released on the UK Blu-Ray.

It's subverted as she clearly regrets both of those things, as she tearfully admits to Becky and doesn't blame her if she hates her.
