Read below for more about the film and the Telluride Horror Show along with a new poster for the film.
Never Hike Alone follows the story of KYLE MCLEOD (Andrew Leighty), an avid backcountry hiker who, while on a solo backpacking trip, discovers the long lost remains of CAMP CRYSTAL LAKE. Ignoring the campfire stories from his childhood, Kyle’s curious nature draws him in to see what is left of the camp which has been closed ever since the infamous 1980 Friday the 13th murders.
However, Kyle’s innocent search of the camp turns deadly when he is attacked by Camp Crystal Lake's last remaining resident, JASON VOORHEES. Stranded alone in the middle of the wilderness, with no equipment, and a legendary mass murderer on his heels, Kyle’s survival skills will be put to the test like never before. Will he make it out of the woods alive or become another victim of the infamous cursed camp?

“Having the opportunity to premiere Never Hike Alone at the Telluride Horror Show is a dream come true for the team and a testament to the hard work put in by our crew over the past year. Our goal from the beginning was to do something special for Friday fans and we couldn’t think of a better venue to do just that.” [DiSanti]

Directed by Vincente DiSanti, Never Hike Alone follows an adventure blogger, Kyle McLeod (Andrew Leighty), who uncovers the long lost remains of Camp Crystal Lake while on a solo backpacking trip. Ignoring the campfire tales from his childhood, Kyle's search turns deadly when he crosses the path of Camp Blood’s legendary mass murderer, Jason Voorhees.
