Scary Faces

About This Movie

Scary Faces is an interesting mix of action and documentary that dives into the heart of rock climbing culture. You’ve got Zachary Barr tackling the six pitch climb of Jules Verne in Eldorado Canyon, which is pretty intense. What stands out is the way it interweaves interviews and stories from the climbers who laid the groundwork for this route. There's a sense of history and respect for the sport that you don't see in many climbing films. The pacing feels organic, almost like you’re experiencing the climb along with Zach. The practical effects capture the sheer scale and danger of the cliffs. It's a raw look at both the physical and mental challenges of climbing, which is refreshing. A solid watch for those into climbing narratives.
