Horror in the High Desert (2021)

Gary Hinge has a YouTube channel where he posts videos about his hikes for his 50,000 followers. On a trip to Nevada in the middle of nowhere, he smells smoke and comes upon a cabin. Something about it creeps him out so much, he hightails it out of there.  

As is typical with the internet, his viewers don’t believe it was all that scary. They call him chicken and pressure him into going back to get proof.  Other viewers ask for the coordinates and say they’ll go if he’s too afraid, Gary doesn’t want to put anyone else in danger so he goes out alone. Things do not go well for Gary as he is never seen again.

The movie is a pseudo documentary in which there is footage from Gary’s videos intercut with interviews with his roommate, sister, the Sheriff who conducted the search, and a few others.  It seems to be loosely based on Kenny Veach, a hiker who disappeared while going back to a cave where he reported the closer he got to the entrance the more uncomfortable he became and he was so scared he didn’t go inside.
