Talon Falls is a Horror Movie by Joshua Shreve.
Four young people, Lyndsey (Morgan Wiggins), Sean (Ryan Rudolph), Lance (Brad Bell), and Ryder (Jordyn Rudolph), are taking a road trip through Kentucky when they make a stop at a gas station. The guy there suggests that they take a look at Talon Falls Screampark, a local Halloween-themed attraction that's happening over the next few nights. After some deliberating, the group decides to give it a shot.
Once they get there, it seems like it might be a pretty fun night after all. Of course, then it turns out the park has a dark secret.
The film was released on October 13th, 2017.
Talon Falls contains examples of:
- All Part of the Show: How the park is able to get away with abducting and torturing its patrons to death: by putting it on display in the mazes.
- Angry Guard Dog: There's one located in the holding cells. It's trained to attack anyone who tries to escape.
- Ankle Drag: The employees of the park have a tendency to drag victims from their cages to the torture room via their ankles.
- Bound and Gagged: Sean, who's strapped into a chair with a gag put over his mouth.
- Buried Alive: Happens to the pig-masked employee when he accidentally chops some support beams in the mine. He manages to dig his way out, though.
- Cold-Blooded Torture: What goes on inside the maze at Talon Falls Scream Park.
- Creepy Gas-Station Attendant: The gang runs into one at the station. His main creep factor being his dirty shirt and face, and how he always seems to speak kind of loudly.
- Cruel Twist Ending: When it seems like Lyndsey is finally safe with the police, we then see that the guy who picked her up in his truck was really working with the park the whole time, and brought her back. Now she's strapped into a table about to be tortured to death while people watch on, oblivious to the danger that she's in.
- Destroy the Security Camera: When the bespectacled prisoner gets out of his cell, he uses a plank to knock the holding cell camera off the wall.
- Final Girl: Lyndsey.
- Giving Them the Strip: When Lyndsey is crawling under the fence around the dead body pit, her coat gets stuck on some wire. She manages to escape by taking her coat off.
- High-Voltage Death: How Ryder (and presumably Lance) die(s), courtesy of touching (and in Lance's case, being in) the electric chair.
- How We Got Here: The movie starts with Lyndsey running into a truck driver and hitching a ride with him, and then being interrogated while blindfolded about what happened. Then it flashes back to the day before, when the real story begins.
- In the Back: The pig-masked employee gets a machete in the back when he has one of the girls in his grasp.
- Irony: Lance really liked shocking the guy strapped into the electric chair. Guess who's in it when Sydney and Ryder get to it late in the movie.
- Knee-capping: Sean, when he's strapped into one of the torture rooms, gets a sledgehammer to each knee.
- No Indoor Voice: A mild example. The Creepy Gas-Station Attendant always seems to speak at an octave that JUST manages to count as this.
- Over-the-Shoulder Carry: The employees are seen doing this with a couple of their prisoners.
- The Place: Zig-zagged. The place's full name is Talon Falls Screampark, but the title is just "Talon Falls".
- The Savage South: The movie is about a scream park in Kentucky that actually tortures and murders people, which attendants think is All Part of the Show.
- Sinister Surveillance: There are security cameras inside the maze at Talon Falls that the employees monitor. There's even a camera in the holding cells.
- Spiteful Spit: Sean gives the guy in the pig mask one when he returns to the holding cells for a new victim.
