Black Coffee

Synopsis

Sometimes you wake up with the wrong person. Black Coffee, a brilliantly improvised Scottish black comedy, deals with the hangover from the night before. John Dick wakes up, content with being unemployed. Lynn, an insecure rich bitch, finds herself falling in love with John, the 'journalist for the local paper'. Meanwhile, after years of marriage, Pat has had enough of Eve's too many late nights, leaving their teenage son, Ben, with the biggest hangover of all.

Director: Adam Park

Year:

Told through leaked footage compiled by a whistle-blower, the film follows Emma and Richard, a couple thrust into the wilderness to survive for 100 days. Their confidence quickly turns to terror as a malevolent creature begins stalking them, ultimately killing Richard in a gruesome attack. Emma escapes and infiltrates the facility where the show's creators review their "progress." There, she discovers the chilling truth: the creature is part of their unholy science. With the odds stacked against her, Emma turns the tables - delivering brutal justice with unexpected aid from the very horror that was meant to destroy her. A darkly satirical blend of horror, sci-fi, and mockumentary, THE WILDING exposes the monstrous extremes the powerful will go to cheat death - and the human cost of their ambition.
