Other members of the crew included Robbie\u2019s brother, Scott (played by Scott Schamell), and best friend, Ange (played by Angela Basolis) who is to serve as the makeup and hair person.<\/p>\n<p>The friends start their trip basically uneventful, though there is an earthquake (an harbinger of things to come?) just before they leave L.A. Unexplained sounds, vibrations, and strange animal behavior occur after they hit the road. And there are occasional talks about nightmares.<\/p>\n<p>The crew, when it reaches the desert, encounters mules that seemed to show up to engage in an animal-human stare down before they gallop away.\u00a0 Eventually, the terror to scare the bejesus out of them &#8211; as well as the audience \u2013 shows up one night! Someone manages to make a 9\/11 call. And so on. And so forth. Three memory cards found by law enforcement are the source-info of their plight.<\/p>\n<p>Filmmaker Robbie narrates a lot of the film. Much of what he said and did and experienced \u2013 recorded on memory cards 2 &amp; 3 \u2013 made little sense to this reviewer. See picture below. Hard to imagine that he would still be filming with a camera because of the shape he was in late in the movie.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_24645\" style=\"width: 666px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hunterword.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/incredible-selfie.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24645\" class=\"size-large wp-image-24645\" src=\"https:\/\/hunterword.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/incredible-selfie-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"656\" height=\"369\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hunterword.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/incredible-selfie-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/hunterword.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/incredible-selfie-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hunterword.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/incredible-selfie-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hunterword.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/incredible-selfie-560x315.jpg 560w, https:\/\/hunterword.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/incredible-selfie-260x146.jpg 260w, https:\/\/hunterword.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/incredible-selfie-160x90.jpg 160w, https:\/\/hunterword.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/incredible-selfie.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 656px) 100vw, 656px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-24645\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Robbie played by Writer-Director Robbie Banfitch.

It was filmed in the dark and dust and along the sand-swept highways of the Mojave. I&#8217;m proud of what our cast and crew accomplished together and will look back on this shoot as one of the best times of my life. It\u2019s been a longtime dream to make a \u201cscary movie.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I hesitate to say much about the film itself, so I&#8217;ll just say this: if I\u2019ve done my job well, it should raise hairs and evoke chills, even from die-hard horror fans. I aimed for a naturalistic, slow-burn experience that will take its audience to a place they&#8217;ve never been, and then beyond. I aimed for something lovely, dark and deep. Scary movies, of course, are best viewed in the dark, so turn off the lights, make some popcorn and start the show.<\/p>\n<p>We invite you on a unique, otherworldly voyage into chaos.<\/p>\n<p>Banfitch, born in New Brunswick, New Jersey, is an American screenwriter, film director, writer, actor, and musician.
