If horror movies have taught us anything, it’s that celebrating your birthday deep in the woods is basically an open invitation to be hunted. Lionsgate’s new psychological thriller, Capps Crossing: Wrong Side of Dead, is here to prove that rule once again—and it is officially available today On Demand and Digital.
Directed by Mike Stahl, the film serves up an intense cocktail of psychological mind games, survival cardio, and a stark reminder to never, ever trust the local park staff.
Surviving the Ultimate Bad Trip
The plot follows Amber, whose birthday getaway with friends goes sideways faster than you can say “scenic overlook.” Enter a demented park ranger with a deeply tortured past and an overwhelming urge to turn their weekend into a masterclass in terror.
Fortunately for Amber, she isn’t your average “trips-over-a-flat-leaf” horror protagonist. She’s an elite athlete and a brilliant social profiler—meaning she’s got the tactical brains to match her endurance. Forced to rely on every tool in her survival arsenal, Amber faces off against a killer who is as manipulative as he is brutal. But keep your guard up: in this forest, absolutely nothing is what it seems.
Veterans, Influencers, and Rising Stars
The film packs a solid ensemble of recognizable talent, led by a comedy and drama legend. Beverly D’Angelo—the iconic Ellen Griswold herself (National Lampoon’s Vacation, American History X)—brings major star power to the wilderness.
Joining her in the fight for survival are Sabina Gadecki (Fire Country, L.A.’s Finest), Garrett C. Phillips (Nightbitch, Ballers), and Shawna Della-Ricca (Dave).
Cancel your camping trips, double-check your deadbolts, and get ready for a twisted psychological puzzle. Capps Crossing: Wrong Side of Dead is available to rent or buy on digital platforms and VOD today.
Remember: respect nature, but fear the ranger.
