Along the desolate highways of the American Southwest, a fractured family's road trip descends into a harrowing fight for survival in the tense thriller By the Rivers of Babylon. Directed by Albert Sandoval, the film centers on a troubled man, portrayed by Crispin Glover, who is transporting his estranged daughter, played by Sam Quartin, and her younger sister (Dakota Buchanan) across state lines. Their journey, already strained by past wounds, takes a terrifying turn when they are targeted by a mysterious and relentless assailant, forcing them to confront both the external threat and the demons within their own vehicle. As paranoia mounts and the landscape offers no refuge, alliances are tested between the daughters, their father, and other travelers they encounter, including characters brought to life by Connie Stevens and Mark Boone Junior. This atmospheric thriller masterfully blends psychological tension with visceral suspense, crafting a claustrophobic narrative where trust is a luxury and the open road becomes a deadly trap.
