16 year-old Kelly Ann gives birth to a baby boy, which she is immediately forced to give up for adoption. Six weeks later, in an attempt to get over the emotional upset, she goes on an overnight hike with her church youth group. The group is joined by 18 year-old Lee, the father of Kelly Ann’s baby. Kelly Ann isn't pleased to see him. The rest of the group become worried when Kelly Ann starts thinking she hears a baby crying on the moors. But they do indeed find a baby abandoned in a ruined castle. As they hike back to take the baby to safety, the group is stalked by a wild beast which begins to pick them off, one by one.

'It's gonna kill us all.'

'Not if we kill it first.'

The chase begins.

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.
