‘Horror in the High Desert’ – Third, Fourth and Fifth Installments On the Way!
Filmmaker Dutch Marich’s highly effective found footage horror movies Horror in the High Desert (2021) and Horror in the High Desert 2: Minerva (2023) are both now streaming on SCREAMBOX, a one-two punch of nightmare fuel that delves into mysterious disappearances in the Nevada wilderness. And we’ve learned more sequels are on the way.
In addition to the already announced Horror in the High Desert 3, which is “almost out,” Marich has taken to social media to announce fourth and fifth installments!
“Part four and five have already started preproduction,” Marich teases.
Stay tuned for more on parts three, four and five as we learn it.
Turn the lights completely off, turn the surround sound volume all the way up, and stream Horror in the High Desert and Horror in the High Desert 2 on SCREAMBOX tonight.
In the original Horror in the High Desert (2021), “In July 2017, outdoor enthusiast Gary Hinge went missing in northern Nevada. He was never located. Friends and loved ones recall the events and, for the first time, talk about the horrific conclusion to his fate.”
And in Horror in the High Desert 2: Minerva (2023), “In 2018 a string of tragedies unfolded in Northeastern Nevada. A woman was found dead and another would vanish along the same stretch of remote highway. Could these events be linked to the disappearance of Gary Hinge?”
Part three is almost out 🙂 part four and five have already started preproduction 💀

We had learned two weeks ago that a sixth installment in Legendary’s 10-years-strong Monsterverse is in the works, and The Hollywood Reporter brings us the latest update tonight.
The site reports that Adam Wingard, who directed both Godzilla vs. Kong and Godzilla x Kong, will NOT be returning to direct the upcoming follow-up to Godzilla x Kong.
THR notes, “The parting of ways is described as amicable and stemming from timing issues. The door remains open for a future return, per insiders.”
Wingard is instead returning to his roots with the upcoming Onslaught, an action-thriller for A24 that’s said to be more in the vein of his earlier movies You’re Next and The Guest.
Dave Callaham (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings) is writing the upcoming sixth movie in the Monsterverse franchise. We have no idea if it’ll be a follow-up to Adam Wingard’s two movies, or if it will take the film franchise down a new path. Stay tuned.
Beginning with the Godzilla film in 2014 and continuing through 2017’s Kong: Skull Island, 2019’s Godzilla: King of the Monsters, 2021’s Godzilla vs. Kong, and most recently the record-breaking Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, the Monsterverse has accumulated over $2B at the global box office and expanded into the highly successful event series, Legendary’s Monarch: Legacy of Monsters for Apple TV+. We recently learned that “Monarch” is getting a second season, with more Monsterverse spinoff shows being planned at Apple TV+.
“Apple TV+ has struck a new multi-series deal with Legendary Entertainment, which includes multiple spinoff series based on the franchise,” the recent press release had stated.
