Horror in the High Desert is a 2021 American found footage film written, produced, and directed by Dutch Marich. Combining pseudo-documentary elements with traditional found footage, the film follows the mysterious 2017 disappearance of amateur hiker Gary Hinge in Nevada's High Desert. The film is based on the Kenny Veach mystery.

Shot during the COVID-19 pandemic using socially distanced Zoom interviews and reconstructions, the film has developed a cult following on video-on-demand platforms despite receiving mixed reviews.
