The Girl and the Horse

Synopsis

The Girl and the Horse is a simple yet stunning tale of a small girl's search for contentment and the love she feels for her horse.
 
As the story unfolds she realises that the material things in life such as cakes, coins and pretty dresses will not necessarily make her feel literally whole and happy. The only thing that can fill the literally empty void of her unhapiness is her wonderful friendship with her horse.

A sleepwalking Emma comes face to face with a mysterious entity The Wilding

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.
