One is a henchman (Gary Stretch) for a successful, yet shady businessman (Stephen Rea). The other is a prime candidate for Prime Minister (Adrian Paul).
In a world where none can be trusted and loyalty is rarer, our conflicted hero (Gary Stretch) has a once-in-a-lifetime chance for revenge against his estranged family (Christopher Lee and Jean Marsh).

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.
