The Wild Hunt On the Prowl Beginning January 24



The Slamdance Film Festival begins in two weeks and many of the films are looming darkly. The Wild Hunt, from Darclight Entertainment, blurs genres, but centrally the film is one of lost love and the danger of blurring reality with fantasy. Much of The Wild Hunt takes place during a medieval re-enactment in which newcomer Erik (Ricky Mabe) finds the egos of the players out-of-control. This flick also stars Kyle Gatehouse (Killer Wave), Trevor Hayes (The Dead Zone), and Mark Antony Krupa (Shake Hands with the Devil) and a trailer is below. Watch the theatrical clip till the end when The Wild Hunt reveals its true horrific colours.

A synopsis for The Wild Hunt here:

"A modern medieval saga, The Wild Hunt tells the story of Erik Magnusson, a young man who decides to follow his estranged girlfriend Evelyn into a medieval re-enactment game when he discovers that she has been seduced by one of the players. As the down-to-earth Erik treks deeper into the game in search of his love, he inadvertently disrupts the delicate balance of the make believe fantasy-land. Passions are unleashed. Rules are broken. Reality and fantasy collide. The good-hearted game turns into a tragedy of mythic proportion(Twitch)."

Release Date: January 24, 8:00pm (Limited Theatrical).

Director: Alexandre Franchi.

Writers: Alexandre Franchi, and Mark Antony Krupa.
