the Wait (La Espera) von F. Javier Gutiérrez

[StS]

Based on an original script written by Gutierrez, The Wait has been described to Bloody Disgusting as being a “love letter to the horror/fantasy genre,” as well as Gutiérrez’s “most intimate and brutal film” to date. The horror movie “portrays the macabre descent into hell of a man who suffered the tragic loss of his family.”

In the film, “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.”
