Synopsis
Alex is initially excited, thinking perhaps it will lead to stardom. When Alex lands a part in a stage play about a film-maker turned serial-killer Alex’s life takes an unexpected turn. A strange figure follows him, young girls circle him, he is attacked for no apparent reason but the ‘documentary’ is starting to look better.
Alex realises that this is all too much to be random. He suspects the cast from the play, then his new ‘girlfriend’, then anyone else who happens to cross his mind.
At the dress rehearsal of the play, it becomes clear to Alex that the film-maker is behind the unexpected events but it is too late for Alex to escape his close-up - roll camera!

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.
