New Images From Descent Inspired ‘High Lane’
A film that’s high on our radar is Abel Ferry’s High Lane, which is being described as The Descent meets Deliverance (seriously, how do you beat that?). Today we got our hands on four new images from the film, one of which finally teases a “monster” from the pic that follows a group of friends on vacation who decide to venture onto a trail high up in the mountains that has been closed for repairs. The climb proves more perilous than planned. Especially as they soon realize that they’re not alone. The adventure turns into a nightmare.
