Part crime caper gone awry, part survival horror film, this 1970s set thriller depicts a harrowing fight for survival after a pair of wannabe crooks botch a bank heist and flee into the desert, where they inexplicably stumble upon Carnage Park, a remote stretch of wilderness occupied by a psychotic ex-military sniper.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Mickey Keating shot this in just 17 days in the Mojave Desert, where temperatures hit 115°F—Ashley Bell actually passed out from heat exhaustion during the mine sequence.
The film's title and premise deliberately evoke 1970s 'survival horror' like Deliverance and The Hills Have Eyes, but critics were divided on whether it transcends homage or drowns in it.
