We know the reason and that makes it all the more
terrifying!
Indican Pictures will be bringing director Hunter
West’s base-on-actual-events sex-trafficking thriller, Ridge
Runners, to the DVD marketplace on Aug.
27. If you like your mysteries filled
with an ever-building element of suspense, then this award-winning indie
release is certain to please.
We, as the audience, have critical evidence to the
mystery that is about to unfold. The
film is actually designed that way. West’s
Ridge Runners constructed
to make you squirm.
Indeed, in an opening tease we find out what has
happened to 12-year-old Halley Dawn (Tatum Chandler in her film debut) and it
isn’t pretty. She’s gone missing and
even though we — the audience — don’t know where she is right at the moment, we
do know what is happening to her and it is horrifying. The young girl is being forced to turn
tricks at a local truck stop (nothing more to be said on that subject).
Next, filmmaker Hunter West takes us to the core of
the film. Halley has been reported
missing by her mother, Maddie (Charlee Graham), and the case has been handed
off to detective Rachel Willow (Jennica Schwartzman — Parker’s
Anchor, Brick Madness, Gordon Family Tree, Before the Lights Come Up,
etc.) and her partner Rob Shepherd (Austin Haley — Chasing
the White Dragon, Losers Take All).
On first glance it appears to be a routine
runaway. Search for a bit, rattle some
cages and eventually she will come wandering home. So Willow and Shepherd go through the
motions of interviewing mom, the neighbors, her teacher at school and the
characters at the local racetrack where Halley’s mother works.
It is frustrating to no end … and that’s the
point. Ridge
Runners is designed to wind you up. You soon find yourself telling the
detectives to move it along!! This girl
is in serious danger and everyone they interview seems like a possible
suspect. There is always something just
a little off about each one.
Will Halley be saved? Will those responsible see justice? Will someone get too close and pay the
price? Aug. 27, DVD, Ridge
Runners and learn the terrible secret.
