THE WILD 

Horror  |  Thriller  |  89min 

Synopsis

The sudden death of their best friend Bea has left Emilia (Sunita Mani - Everything Everywhere All at Once), Finn, and Lucey fractured and reeling. Hoping to reclaim a sense of normalcy, Emilia pushes them to continue their annual camping trip deep into the remote wilderness. But the forest offers no comfort—only eerie silence, festering guilt, and the growing sense that something is terribly wrong. Emilia becomes consumed by Bea’s absence and increasingly suspicious of Finn—the only one who saw what really happened. When a mysterious lone hiker crosses their path and refuses to leave, paranoia and dread take hold. Tensions spiral into violence as old secrets claw to the surface, and the trio begins to question not only each other’s motives... but their grip on reality.
