Plot:
In July 2017, an experienced outdoor enthusiast vanished in Northern Nevada while on an outdoor excursion. After an extensive search, he was never located.

Reviews:
“This was a bit slow starting out but it eventually finds its footing. We then move on to the footage that was found. This found-footage insert adds some much-needed action to the film. I’m not a found footage fan but having this aspect just take up a small portion of the film was fun.” Horror Society
“Unlike many of these films, Horror in the High Desert does give the audience answers but not all of them. While we do learn Gary’s fate there’s enough left unanswered to leave you wondering […] Some viewers may feel a bit let down when they find out what’s out there, but I was satisfied with it.” Voices from the Balcony
