A Desert is a 2024 psychological horror movie about a photographer’s road trip turning nightmarish after he befriends a reckless couple, dragging him into a violent neo-noir spiral of chaos and death.
Synopsis: A washed-up photographer sets off on a road trip across the American Southwest, hoping to reclaim the success of his past work. Along the way, he befriends a reckless young couple whose dangerous lifestyle drags him into a nightmarish underworld of crime and chaos. As he becomes entangled in their volatile world, his obsession with capturing the raw truth blurs the line between observer and participant. His wife and a shady private detective are soon pulled into the escalating madness, each trapped in a deadly spiral of deception, violence, and paranoia.
