Horror in the High Desert
In July 2017, an experienced outdoor enthusiast vanished in Northern Nevada while on an outdoor excursion. After an extensive search, he was never located. On the three-year anniversary of his disappearance, friends and loved ones recall the events leading up to his vanishing, and for the first time, speak about the horrifying conclusion of his fate.
Why it matters
A haunting blend of true crime and atmospheric dread that probes the eerie loneliness of the desert and the unknowable terrors lurking beyond the map.
- Unearths real-world horror with a patient, documentary-style tension that lingers like a dry wind through sagebrush.
- Captures the isolation of the Nevada high desert as a character itself—vast, unforgiving, and silently hostile.
- For fans of slow-burn true crime and wilderness horror, it’s a meditation on disappearance and grief more than jump scares.
- Not a traditional monster movie, but a grim reminder that sometimes the most terrifying things are what we never find.
