Weyback

Synopsis

Three years ago, Lawrence Ledbetter, a brilliant, but crooked accountant had a get-rich-quick plan that needed a run-down town and a set of corrupt local businessmen and officials. One day he walked into Weyback.

Every phase of the town's regeneration scheme made The Fellowship, as Lawrence called the Weyback fraudsters, richer and were soon laundering Russian Mafia money, Then, Lawrence left town with half The Fellowship's and all of the Russians money.

Now Lawrence is back in town and with the Fraud Squad circling, the Russians wanting their money and The Fellowship's new leader wishing the obvious imposter dead. He just about manages to keep one step ahead, surviving car-crushing plants, deep river mud, shoot-outs and strangulation. He finds comfort with a night club chanteuse but then finds himself on the wrong end of her gun when the wedding in the bedding goes badly. Led to him by a crazy ex KGB mole and armature ballon strangler, the Russian hit man and his rubber-suited female colleague, Lawrence finally realises what must be done and enlists them in the dead of night under Weyback's new motorway, to serve justice so Lawrence can once again leave Weyback for good.

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.
