“The Wild Hunt calls to mind The Wicker Man, to me at least. Both films deal with outsiders introduced to a world they do not understand and explore the darkness just under the surface of the every day. This is a far better companion piece to that film than The Wicker Tree could ever hope to be and for that reason I urge you to seek it out” STARBURST MAGAZINE

“Though not shot as a mock-documentary, this award-winning Canadian movie has a very real feel to it, something that is critical to the effectiveness of the drama that unfolds.” CULT TV

“…like all the best horror movies it’s the psychological undercurrent that provides the scares. Intentionally or not, in an increasingly globalised world, such films serve to highlight the futility of believing in racial superiority or destiny. A well made intelligent film.” SUBBA CULTCHA

“One of the strengths of the story is how it cleverly brings the viewer into the realism of theĀ game, yet reminds us that despite the escapism of their characters, these are real people.” CHRIS & PHIL PRESENT

Fusing modern realism with folk myth this powerfully gritty first feature by independent filmmakers Alexandre Franchi and Mark A. Krupa offers an astonishing twist on the medieval/fantasy genre. Highly acclaimed, this fable noir has won a host of accolades and international awards, including Best Canadian First Feature Film at Toronto International Film Festival and the Audience Award for Best Narrative Feature at the Slamdance Film Festival.

Clinging to the imagined glory of his Icelandic ancestry, Bjorn immerses himself as a LARPer in medieval re-enactment games. His brother Erik hates this escapist fantasy world but when he discovers that his girlfriend has not only become involved with but seduced by Murtagh, the charismatic clan leader, he follows her into the game.

Lost in a fantasy land of arcane rules, plastic-eared elves and beer-guzzling knights, Erik must now rely on his brother for guidance. Passions flare and rules are broken as their mission angers a jealous Murtagh – reality and fantasy start to collide as the good-hearted game degenerates into a tragedy of mythic proportions…
