The Rifleman is the main antagonist of the 2017 horror/thriller film Downrange.

He's a deadly accurate and merciless serial killer who murders random travelers with a sniper rifle.

He was portrayed by Aion Boyd.

History[]

A group of teenagers travels through some route when their SUV suffers a tire blowout. While changing the tire, Jeff is suddenly shot in the head by the sniper. Then, the sniper shoots Sara in her eye while everyone is stunned, prompting the four remaining survivors - Eric, Jodi, Karen, and Todd - to immediately take cover.

The sniper shoots the sole cellphone available, meaning that they can no longer call the 911 and are left for themselves. They devise a strategy to survive making the SUV roll by putting it on neutral so they can move along the vehicle safely. They attempt, and eventually succeed, but the sniper shoots out another tire and disables it. Panicked, Eric attempts to run toward nearby trees, but the sniper shoots him in the ankle as well as his other leg. Eric survives for the moment but eventually dies from his wounds.

Some hours later, Todd sees a vehicle passing and attempts to warn them of the rampage but is swiftly dispatched by the sniper. The latter then proceeds to shoot the hand of the female driver who loses control and flips their car, ejecting their daughter in the backseat through a window. The father drags his wife behind their car while calling the 911. The sniper shoots the flipped vehicle’s gas tank, which burns the couple; then, he takes down the girl when she's about to stand up on the side of the road.

The day passes and no one comes. After the sunset, the two girls set a fire in order to create a smokescreen to run away safely from the mad sniper. However, as they are setting the fire and ready to flee, they witness an incoming police car with a sheriff, a deputy, and two police marksmen aboard. The sniper takes out one of the sharpshooters as well as the sheriff, and the truck crashes on the roadside. Keren uses this distraction to run as fast as she can, but the smoke didn't cover her enough and the sniper easily takes her down.

Jodi regroups with the law enforcers, but the sniper kills them all one by one. Aware that she couldn't escape from the murderer, she takes control of the truck and in a desperate attempt to kill him, Jodi crashes into the tree where he was hidden the sniper so he falls out of the tree. She then takes his rifle while he's lying down and repeatedly shoots him, before bashing in his head with the butt of the rifle. However, Jodi accidentally shoots herself in the neck at the very end while trying to unjam the rifle to shoot The Sniper once again, leaving no survivors.

  • Eric - Shot in the legs by The Sniper (before Todd's death), finally dies of blood loss off-screen. (His death is never seen on-screen, making it impossible to pinpoint when he died. Also, no tally mark is shown for him on The Sniper's rifle, so even he wasn't sure.)
    • Total - 42 People

Personality[]

He's a complete psychopath with no senses of remorse for his acts of brutality whatsoever. He enjoys tearing apart his victims with his rifle, making them bleed out slowly before giving the final blow. A huge sadist, he lets some of his victims run away before inevitably killing them.

Trivia[]

  • Given his exceptional marksmanship, he might be a retired sociopathic soldier that enjoys hunting people with his rifle. This is further hinted by the tally marks on the rifle enumerating his victims, which clearly underlines his sadistic nature.
