Capps Crossing: Wrong Side of Dead – Because Trips to the Woods Always Go So Well

If horror movies have taught us anything, it’s that celebrating your birthday deep in the wilderness is basically an open invitation to be hunted. Lionsgate’s upcoming psychological thriller, Capps Crossing: Wrong Side of Dead, is here to prove that rule once again when it arrives On Demand and Digital on July 28. Directed by Mike Stahl, the film promises plenty of tension, psychological mind games, and a stark reminder never to 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 a sudden urge to turn their weekend into a masterclass in terror. Fortunately for Amber, she’s not your average running-and-tripping horror protagonist. She’s a stellar athlete and a brilliant social profiler—meaning she’s got the brains to match her cardio. Forced to use every tool in her survival arsenal, Amber must

Saddle Up, the Horror Western ‘Coyote Woman’ is Out Now

After months of anticipation, the grindhouse horror Western Coyote Woman is finally available. Director Stefan Ruf has crafted a brutal, unflinching homage to classic exploitation cinema, infused with the gritty realism of Cormac McCarthy’s Blood Meridian. This is not a sanitized Hollywood Western. Coyote Woman is a bloody, visceral tale of revenge, survival, and the savage nature of man. Featuring Larissa Dali as the titular character, the film is a rollercoaster ride of violence, sex, and shocking imagery. The film shows the Comanches killing their parents and abducting half-sisters Iris and Cynthia. Iris manages to escape, carrying with her a ravening desire for revenge. However, Cynthia is adopted into the tribe and grows into a warrior. Ten years later, a gang of rogue Texas Rangers-turned-scalp hunters led by J.J. Glanton and Judge Holden are hired by Iris to destroy the last free band of Comanches led by Chief Coughing Buffalo and the shaman Deep Water. Unfortunately, the white man’s ardent
