Ryan Boone

Ryan Boone’s filmography sort of reads like a mixtape from the late 2000s indie scene, honestly. He pops up in “Pelt” (2010), which is this gnarly, skin-crawling horror flick that people either adore or totally hate—no in-between. The story basically tosses a bunch of city kids into the woods (because, why not?) where they stumble onto some truly twisted backwoods nightmare. It’s not your typical slasher, either—there’s this gritty, homemade vibe that gets under your skin. Boone’s character? Not just another throwaway victim. He brings this raw, almost uncomfortable energy, the kind that makes you squirm a bit because it feels way too real. Then you’ve got “Ghost Story” from 2008. Not to be confused with any of those old-school ghost films, this one leans more into psychological territory. Boone’s role is quieter, but he nails that haunted, restless look—like he’s seen something he can’t shake off. The film itself plays with memory and loss, throwing you off balance with what’s real and what’s just guilt playing tricks. It’s moody as hell, and Boone helps sell that vibe, even when he’s not saying much. And don’t sleep on “City of Motherly Love” (2010), either. It’s a gritty drama rooted in suburban Pennsylvania, poking at the ugly stuff folks try to sweep under the rug. Boone’s performance in this one is more grounded, less in-your-face than “Pelt,” but still sharp. The guy feels like he belongs in every scene—like he’s lived there his whole life. Not exactly a blockbuster resume, but if you’re into offbeat, left-of-center films, Boone’s stuff is worth a look.
