The Hike
Directed by Erik Palladino
The Hike is a genre-bending mix of thriller, drama, and dark comedy that explores the complexities of male toxicity and friendship. When Mike and James set out on a hiking trip, lighthearted banter and candid conversations give way to rising tensions. As things spiral, the lines between camaraderie and conflict come to a head. Some paths should never be taken.
