Badland Rising (2026)

Badland Rising strips the road trip thriller down to its rawest essentials: a single, desperate man, a ticking clock, and a 19-hour stretch of asphalt that becomes a hunting ground. What sets it apart is the quiet, relatable protagonist—no former soldier, just an ordinary bloke—forced to improvise survival with nothing but grit and a broken-down vehicle. The slow-burn dread of being unknowingly stalked erupts into visceral, grounded violence that feels terrifyingly real. Perfect for fans of *Duel* or *No Country for Old Men*, this is a claustrophobic, emotionally charged ride that questions how far you’d go when the highway becomes a death trap.
