After a botched job leaves a trail of bodies behind, a gang of desperate criminals seeks refuge in a remote desert hideout. But their plans fall apart fast when they discover the area is home to something far worse than the law -- an ancient feud between the creatures that roam the day and the monsters that rule the night. As tensions rise and the body count climbs, the crew must decide if survival is worth trusting each other -- or the creatures hunting them.

Sarah Musnicky InBetweenDrafts J. Horton’s A Hard Place wears its potential on its sleeve. However, this creature feature can’t get out of the tight place it stumbles into. It’s a shame because the film could’ve been a fun monster mash. Rated: 4/10 Jun 3, 2025 Full Review Nathaniel Muir AIPT A Hard Place introduces a lot of people, most with unclear motivations. The end result is a good idea that is poorly executed. May 28, 2025 Full Review Sarah Vincent Sarah G Vincent Views This independent horror film may have been fun for everyone to make, but if you are not personally connected to anyone in the movie, you probably will not enjoy it. Cannot recommend. May 27, 2025 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com An indie horror film that ultimately begs to be seen. Rated: 3.5/4.0 May 25, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
