Trailer For The Sinister Folk Lore Horror Film THE WAIT
A trailer has recently been shared for a sinister folk lore horror movie titled The Wait. The movie comes from director F. Javier Gutiérrez (Before the Fall, Rings), and I had the opportunity to watch this movie at FilmQuest this year.
The story revolves around a “tragedy that takes place in the dark, magic, and forgotten Andalusian countryside, a place marked by ancestral traditions.” This is actually a really great dramatic horror film. It’s a slow-burn horror story, and the story is strong.
The Wait has been described as a “love letter to the horror/fantasy genre,” and it said to be Gutiérrez’s “most intimate and brutal film.” The horror movie “portrays the macabre descent into hell of a man who suffered the tragic loss of his family.”
In the film, “Eladio (Victor Clavijo), hunting estate keeper, takes a bribe from a veteran hunter. Weeks later, his whole life falls apart. What looked like the opportunity of a lifetime, turns into a macabre descent to hell when he finds out that his misfortune might not be entirely by chance.”
The movie has won 14 awards so far including Best Director at FilmQuest, Best Actor at Screamfest, Audience Award in Fancine Malaga Fantasy Film Festival, and the Critics Award in the San Sebastian Horror Film Festival.
The Wait was premiered in Oldenburg Film Festival (Germany) last September 22nd, and it has been part of the Official Selection of Fantastic Fest (Austin), Sitges (Spain), Morbido (Mexico) and Vancouver Intl Film Festival (Canada).
The film is releasing in Spain on December 15, with US distribution news coming soon.
