India, Oct. 16 -- Imagine being trapped inside a giant whale with barely an hour of oxygen left and no clear way to escape. That is the frightening situation at the centre of Whalefall, a survival thriller directed by Brian Duffield. Starring Austin Abrams and Josh Brolin, the film combines a desperate fight for survival with a story about grief, family relationships and the lasting impact of a difficult childhood.

The film has an unusual premise that immediately grabs attention. Its underwater sequences create some genuinely tense moments while Abrams delivers a convincing performance as a man fighting to stay alive. However, the frequent shifts between survival and family drama sometimes slow the story down.
