Directed by: Scott Mann
Starring: Virginia Gardner, Grace Caroline Currey, Mason Gooding
Genres: Thriller
Becky: Fuck off.
James Conner: Don't talk to me that way. Your mother and I raised you better than that.
Becky: Life is fleeting. Life is short, too short. So you gotta use every moment. You have to do something that makes you feel alive, and that shit, that would spread that message far and wide.
Hunter: Don't you wanna punch fear in the dick?
Becky: What was Cactus Jack's name when he wore a mask?
Hunter: Mankind.
Continuity mistake: After the ladder falls and before the girls realise Becky has been injured, the cut on her leg is visible in several shots. Sometimes her leggings under the cut are red with blood and sometimes they're not - it goes back and forth a few times. (00:41:35 - 00:42:55)
Trivia: Profanity Warning: The original cut of the film contained over 30 uses of the word "fuck." When the film was picked up for theatrical distribution, the studio wanted to redub the film's profanity to make it PG-13. The studio had the actors redub their lines with less harsh language, and then used A.I.-based software (similar to "deepfakes") to digitally manipulate their mouths to match the new dialogue.
Question: When the girls got stuck at the top of the tower on the first night, why didn't they think to climb to the very top to screw and unscrew the light bulb back and forth in an SOS pattern at alternate speeds? That surely would have been seen as out of place, and the SOS is universally known as a distress signal that would have alerted motorists and people on the ground. No doubt that would have been strenuous to perform, but at least they would have been trying everything to get help.
Answer: Probably for the same reason you (the person who posted the question) didn't think of it until after you'd seen them unscrew the bulb to recharge the battery. It just didn't occur to you/them.
Answer: To add to the other answer, while "SOS" as a distress signal is widely known, the Morse code equivalent (... - - -...) is not. So, unless they were educated in such signals, anyone seeing it probably wouldn't interpret it as a deliberate call for help...even law enforcement in this day and age couldn't be guaranteed to understand it correctly.
Even if some didn't understand it, there's a good chance they'd wonder why it was making such unusual flashes for the first time and take a look.

Answer: Most likely, that never occurred to them, or they had no idea about how to do that. Not to mention, it would be extremely dangerous, physically difficult, with no guarantee it would be successful.
