Throughout military history no soldier has been as well-regarded or as reviled as the Sniper.

In fact, during the American Revolutionary War, snipers on both sides of the battle were considered two things: deadly for their accuracy, and cowardly for not facing their enemy head-on. Stories of snipers being killed outright rather than captured are frankly, easy to comprehend. Which brings us to DOWNRANGE.

Directed by Ryuhei Kitamura (The Midnight Meat Train) with a screenplay by Joey O’Bryan (Motorway, Fulltime Killer), DOWNRANGE looks to unload tons of terror on a modern-day group of travelers on a cross-country trip. Stranded on a lonely highway due to a blown tire, they soon realize their misfortune was chillingly calculated.

Celebrating its world premiere at this years Toronto International Film Festival in September, DOWNRANGE stars newcomer Kelly Connaire, Stephanie Pearson (Insidious: Chapter 2), Rod Hernandez-Farella, Anthony Kirlew, Alexa Yeames (The Originals), and Jason Tobias (ABC’s Notorious). The film will join a strong list of genre features in the festival’s Midnight Madness lineup.
