Deep in the Andalusian countryside, Eladio (Victor Clavijo) works as the groundskeeper of a hunting estate owned by the powerful Don Francisco. After taking a bribe from Don Francisco, Eladio’s normal life falls apart, plunging him into the depths of guilt, hatred and revenge.

From director F. Javier Gutiérrez (Before the Fall), THE WAIT is a folk horror thriller that “takes viewers along on a macabre descent into hell” (Screen Zealots). With “haunting visuals” (AWFJ.org) and a “gripping performance” (Horror Fuel) from Victor Clavijo, THE WAIT offers a terrifying vision of loss.

"The Wait can be best enjoyed for its haunting visuals and grime embedded aesthetic. It is precise filmmaking on many levels"

"When it boldly turns to horror and fantasy, The Wait becomes a film that's infinitely more interesting than what its beginning may suggest."

"The Wait is a brooding, potent tale of calamity, loss, revenge, and class divides. It would do it a disservice to call it merely a horror film, as there is so much more here and plenty of food for thought."

Martin Unsworth, Starburst
