Don’t Trust the Ranger: Psychological Thriller ‘Capps Crossing: Wrong Side of Dead’ Is Out Now

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

Punk Rock Horror Flick ‘The Ranger’ Hunts Down A January Release

A71 Entertainment is set to release the punk rock slasher The Ranger early in January.

Movie Review: The Ranger (2018)

A group of young punk rockers go on the lam after their approximation of a leader Garth (Granit Lahu) stabs a cop while rescuing his gal pal Chelsea (Chloe Levine) from John Q. Law after making a break from a raid on a club they were getting high in. The group find themselves deep in the woods, contraband in tow, and hole up in Chelsa’s late uncle’s (the legendary Larry Fessenden) cabin shortly after a run in with a rather off-kilter Park Ranger (Jeremy Holm); who it is revealed has ties to Chelsea’s past…a past that she can’t fully remember. Soon shots are fired, and hunting season has officially opened on punks…and if you read the title of this review (and why would you click on this if you hadn’t) you can guess who’s doing the ol’ stalk n’ slay bit! Now the question is, how many of our hard rockin’ heroes is going to be strollin’ out of those
