The Only Hotel

Synopsis

Arriving in England from America in search of her father, Courtney Francis, a young, insecure woman, finds her hopes of being able to start a new life with him in pieces when she discovers he has long since started a new family. Without care she runs away and soon finds herself lost in the deserted back streets of London where she is immediately in danger as two muggers attack her.

She escapes them and finds refuge hiding in a large rundown hotel. Here she is offered accommodation if she works to pay the rent and with seemingly no more choices she resigns herself to living there. But soon Jenny Stein, a charismatic professional woman, arrives to collect debts from the hotel. The two become close and decide that the solution to their lives' problems is to steal drug money from a sleazy character, Carl Wilson, who is at the hotel for one night. However, the two women quickly find this plan leads them into great trouble and Courtney realises that her only way to escape is to overcome her fears and return to the hotel's haunted room.

The story is haunting and thrilling. Courtney goes through a dangerous journey in discovering her self-worth.

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.
