He Went That Way2024

Horror Vault's take

When a charismatic animal trainer agrees to give a young drifter a lift across the sun-baked American Southwest, the confined cab of his vehicle becomes a pressure cooker of hidden menace. What begins as an oddly charming road trip — complete with a famous chimpanzee passenger — steadily darkens as the true nature of his hitchhiker surfaces. Grounded in a real-life encounter from 1964, the film plays a nerve-shredding game of cat and mouse where the wrong move could be the last. Jacob Elordi and Zachary Quinto deliver a portrait of two very different men locked in a dangerously intimate standoff.
