As Trevor drifts through Texas on collision course with a nightmare he is still haunted by the evils of the war he recently returned from and a promise he failed to keep. When a stranger offers a ride, Trevor finds himself battling the brutal homegrown evil of the Broderick family at Hoboken Hollow,a remote West Texas ranch that many visit but few ever leave.

Why it matters

A grim fusion of war trauma and rural slasher dread that mines the brutal legacy of violence in the Texas badlands.

  • A mood-soaked blend of psychological torment and backwoods gore, echoing ‘The Texas Chain Saw Massacre’ with a modern post-war malaise.
  • Stark, sun-bleached cinematography contrasts with grisly practical effects, grounding the horror in a tangible, oppressive reality.
  • For fans of homegrown evil tales who appreciate horror’s ability to dissect trauma alongside terror.
  • Not a polished studio affair—rough edges and pacing issues persist, but the rawness amplifies its grim, unforgiving atmosphere.
