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 a veteran hunter, 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.

- "This beautifully shot, folk horror revenge thriller... takes viewers along on a macabre descent into hell that’s worth the investment."
- "Clavijo gives a gripping performance as a man driven to desperation in more ways than one...."
- "La espera, or The Wait, is a slow burn film done right with just the right amount of disturbing elements...."
- "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."
