Seventeen months after first writing about the film, Alexandre Franchi’s medieval role-playing-gone-murderously-amok thriller THE WILD HUNT is finally getting released on DVD, courtesy of MPI/FilmBuff. Now that’s a hell of a wait…
The flick lands on shelves June 7th, feel free to pre-order that shite RIGHT HERE. Of course, you may wanna revisit the premise first.
Co-written with Franchi by Mark Antony Krupa – 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…
Kyle Gatehouse, Trevor Hayes, Claudia Jurt, Mark Antony Krupa, Ricky Mabe, Spiro Malandrakis, Kent McQuaid, Holly O’Brien, Terry Simpson, Nicholas Simard, and Martin Stone all round out the cast.
