Downhill
Deeply upset by the passing of his best friend, a professional BMX rider accepts to partake in a race in Chile. Everything goes as planned until he stumbles upon a man who is infected by a mysterious virus and becomes the target of local assassins.
Why it matters
A tense survival thriller that blends BMX adrenaline with viral contagion paranoia in the shadowy Andes.
- Rare breed of horror that marries extreme sports with infection horror—think The Rider meets The Crazies.
- Gritty practical effects and tight, on-the-edge pacing keep the dread visceral rather than abstract.
- For fans of isolated, nature-set horrors where the landscape itself becomes a hostile character.
- Not flawless—some plot beats feel undercooked—but the raw atmosphere and outsider perspective make it a hidden gem for niche horror explorers.
