Pitfall movie: Cast
The survival horror movie stars Final Destination: Bloodlines actor Richard Harmon, who once again finds himself cheating death, this time, in a far more grounded but gruesome way. He is joined by Alexandra Essoe, Randy Couture, Marshall Williams, Jordan Claire Robbins, and Matt Hamilton in what is shaping up to be one of this fall’s most talked-about horror titles.
Pitfall teaser decoded
The trailer opens with a classic setup: a group of friends on a nostalgic hiking trip. It’s all laughs until the first red flag, a trail map board plastered with missing persons posters.
“Over two thousand people have vanished in these woods in the last decade,” one character warns. Then come the screams, bloodshed, and the horrifying traps.
Harmon’s character narrowly escapes death
Lars, the role taken up by Harmon in the movie, is seen narrowly escaping one of the film’s centerpiece kills – a ten-foot spike-lined pit. The kind of traps a hunter would use. His escape is shown in a blink-and-a-miss sequence, but is enough to make even seasoned horror fans pull a face.

Synopsis of Pitfall
According to IMDb, ” Pitfall” centers on a young man separated from his friends in the woods and falls, quite literally, into a 10-foot deep pit of spikes. As the spikes impale his leg and leave him trapped, he realizes the fall was not an accident. What begins as a fun trip quickly turns into a fight against something, or someone, lurking in the trees.
With its claustrophobic setting, gruesome visuals, and nods to Final Destination-style fate, Pitfall looks ready to deliver a fresh dose of backwoods terror for fans of the genre.
