Horror in the High Desert

Horror in the High Desert (2021) is a found-footage mockumentary from director Dutch Marich you can watch online on iFILM. In the summer of 2017, a seasoned hiker sets off alone into the Northern Nevada backcountry and simply never comes back.

Three years on, his friends, his sister and a hired private investigator sit down on camera to lay out what they know about those final days. The film is assembled like a true-crime documentary — talking-head interviews, scraps of recovered video, the dry timeline of a failed search slowly tightening toward a grim payoff. Marich builds the dread almost entirely on waiting and on what goes unsaid, skipping cheap jump scares, and the closing minutes stay with you. A good fit for fans of found-footage and uneasy missing-person stories. Stream Horror in the High Desert (2021) online on iFILM.
