The autumn of Austin Abrams marches on with Whalefall, his second one-man genre exercise in the span of a month.
The belle of the fall’s emotional survival tale joins Resident Evil in theaters as the latter continues to build on its $324 million worldwide box office gross. In Whalefall, co-written and directed by Brian Duffield, Abrams plays college student Jay Gardiner, who reluctantly returns home to California’s Central Coast a year after his estranged father, Mitt (Josh Brolin), responds to his terminal mesothelioma diagnosis by taking his own life at sea.

If ever there were a movie to see without any knowledge whatsoever of what was to come, Whalefall would certainly prove to be one harrowing thrill ride. Now, I was quite aware of the premise going in. In fact, much of my high anticipation for this film was based entirely on what seemed like the level of effort going into making this impossible situation look as realistic as possible. How could one deal with being swallowed by a sperm whale? And what could a film do to maintain that level of tension for a reasonable runtime? The answers are more nuanced than some may expect, as Whalefall draws strength from its emotional core and strong performances from everyone involved, which support the amazing visuals of this thrilling adventure. That said, the various cinematic universes featuring Austin Abrams are having a rough go of it lately. Last month he was evading zombies by the skin of his teeth in Zach Cregger’s wildly enjoyable Resident Evil. Now, here he is as Jay Gardiner, an ordinary college kid whose grieving activity to help him deal with the death of his father (Josh Brolin) is upset by the craziest set of events that one could conceive of enduring.
