A desperate escape across the Sonoran Desert becomes a terrifying fight for survival in 'BABYBACKS', a new survival horror thriller directed by Geno Marx.
Young lovers Zoe and Mateo are fleeing ruthless cartel hitmen and crossing the scorching desert in search of a new life in America. Exhausted and vulnerable, their situation becomes desperate when Mateo is badly injured.
Then salvation appears to arrive.
A seemingly generous older couple offers them shelter inside an isolated rural home. But what begins as an act of kindness gradually reveals itself as something far more sinister.
Trapped inside, Zoe and Mateo discover that escaping the dangers of the desert may only have delivered them into an even worse nightmare.
Moving from the vast hostility of the Sonoran Desert into the claustrophobic terror of captivity, 'BABYBACKS' combines psychological menace, social tension and visceral survival horror.
The film stars Viridiana Márquez ('CHICAGO P.D.', 'CHICAGO FIRE'), Ryan Rathbun ('OPPENHEIMER', 'BABYLON'), Melissa Chambers ('DARK WINDS', 'MAYFAIR WITCHES') and Ray Acevedo ('AMERICAN SICARIO').
