The Hike, also known as "The Hike (2020)", is the first full-length feature film release from Big N Funky Productions, which previously focused on producing paranormal TV shows for ASY TV such as Wrestling With Ghosts, comedy skits for their YouTube channel and professional wrestling television for Fox TV. This is a horror/psychological thriller film with comedic elements, based on film producer Vinnie Vineyard's brother's hiking mishaps in the Great Smoky Mountains and Wrestling With Ghosts's own experiences while the team investigated the Cherokee legend Spearfinger.

Plot

Robin and Vinnie, a couple who are working on some issues in their relationship, decide to take a three-day hike into the Great Smoky Mountains. Robin loves the outdoors, but Vinnie is a big city guy, a trope that plays out often throughout the movie. The relaxing adventure takes a turn for the worse shortly after Robin finds a necklace in the woods that she is mysteriously drawn to and then subsequently discover Polaroids of bound, semi nude, apparently unconscious people littered throughout their trail.

From there, the couple have a hard time relaxing, but Vinnie tries to calm Robin down with his wild stories about Furries, a wrestler named "Beastiality" and an Elvis Impersonator with hung out with Charlie Hodge (guitarist). Every humorous distraction is soon ended abruptly when they encounter more disturbing items in the woods or increasingly odd people. At night, their tents are shaken by a mysterious person that tells them to "Get Out!", but when they awake and try to find out who is disturbing their sleep, there's not a soul around.

From there, things get worse when they find three armed strangers in the woods. Tensions heighten, and Robin and Vinnie try to flee the strangers through an abandoned guano mine, but they end up trapped. This sets up for a bloody battle for survival, deep in the heart of the Appalachian wilderness.

Production

Luke Walker tried to get Vinnie Vineyard excited about doing a movie for years, but the size and the scope of the operation always overwhelmed Vineyard. Vinnie Vineyard produced an episode of "It Happened to Me..." entitled "The Voice" that featured an eventful story told by his older brother John. The story involved fighting bears with his walking sticks, stepping on rattle snakes and a "voice" that would tell him to "Get out!" through his tent at night. John stated on the program that he didn't know whether or not this was God, a ghost, a native spirit, or his imagination, but whatever it was, "it" was right because John was unwittingly in a part of the National park that was being baited for bears. For the script, Vinnie Vineyard and Luke Walker combined that story with yet another one of John's stories. In this tale, he and a friend found semi nude Polaroids along the Appalachian trail and encountered intimidating strangers, and were eventually chased out of the woods. Armed with those two whoppers, their idea for a horror movie took shape when they filmed Wrestling With Ghosts' season three's premiere about Cherokee legend Spearfinger. A notable coincidence is that all three of these source material stories took place on or very near Nolan Creek Trail, which is regarded as the most haunted trail in North Carolina . Luke Walker wrote a script, but he and Vineyard were worried about the length of the movie being too short, so they added three humorous vignettes to both flesh out the movie and give the characters more depth. These three vignettes, a story about Furries at a Judo tournament, Bestiality the Wrestler, and Lou Vuto and Charlie Hodge (guitarist) are all true stories that happened to Vineyard or Walker.

Vineyard was a judoka when he was younger, and he always fantasized about filming a movie with a fight scene similar to James Cagney's Blood on the Sun. Since many of the main cast are professional wrestlers, this made that very physical fight homage at the end of the movie possible. The Production team believes in using all of their cast's assets to make their projects unique and for the characters to appear to have more depth. For example, in this movie, Robin (hard rock vocalist Kandi Thompson) sing, Luke plays guitar and sings, Vinnie tells humorous stories, Travis (a real life axe coach) throws axes and uses Bow and Arrows.
