The Need

Synopsis

Frustrated by the inappropriate and lienient sentencing of serial offenders, this video-diary follows an embittered vigilante as he inadvertantly mounts an escalating campaign of murderous retribution. Feeding on public indifference, our increasingly volatile narrator taunts his apathetic audience as his desire for social justice is progressively overtaken by a stronger, more primitive 'need'!

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.
