4/5
Horror in the High Desert is a very good example of doing things right by planning everything to the core and executing and editing with the only true intention to scare the wits out of those who find themselves trapped by the realism of this subgenre. Go to Full Review

J D @Jdel317 Dec 16 If you like 'found footage' movies, watch the first and last 20 minutes, maybe even the last 20 minutes because everything else is pointless and repetitive. We dont need to hear 3 people say the same thing, 3 times back to back. Get to the point already. See more Jason B Nov 12 Junk. Poorly written, directed and produced movie that isn't good enough to be marketed as a movie so they need to lie about it and tell you it's based on true events. Less entertaining than the National Enquirer. See more Brian M Nov 10 This found footage film has a very deliberate sense of pacing, as it adds one twist after another to develop the mystery of the missing influencer. Overall, the twists really work. Where things fall apart is the climax, which relies too much on trying to set up a big jump scare to be effective—in fact, I found myself getting bored during much of the final 10 minutes. It’s also quite illogical that a guy with advanced survival skills would react as he does. That being said, it’s not bad enough to make me regret watching it. See more Mickey S Jul 24 I thoroughly enjoyed this. It's a slow burn that relies on tension and discomfort more than jump scares and violence. Some of the acting is a bit shoddy but not the worst thing you'll see in an independent film. The fact that it was shot during covid and still turned out as well as it did is impressive. All in all it is worth the watch. See more Jason S Jul 9 The movie slowly unfolds in a way that makes you think a big payoff is coming at the end, but it just sort of fizzles. This movie doesn't do anything outright bad, but it is kind of boring and not scary. See more Aaron D Apr 22 Aggressively tense with a hanging sense of dread and confusion throughout, it delivers on a fantastically terrifying conclusion. The film is held back by some not-so-great performances and mild editing and cinematography choices. See more Read all reviews
