Death Hike (2021) is one of those low-key horror flicks that leans heavily on atmosphere and tension rather than jump scares. The pacing is deliberate, which adds to the creeping dread. Set in a remote wilderness, it plays with the isolation trope effectively. The performances are pretty solid, capturing the raw fear that comes with being lost in the woods. There’s an interesting use of practical effects that gives it a gritty feel, which I find refreshing in today’s CGI-heavy landscape. It's not groundbreaking but there’s something about its execution that feels authentic, like a throwback to the simpler horror films of the past. Worth a watch for those who appreciate a slower build and character-driven narratives.
