Synopsis: Sometimes fiction can be more dangerous than reality, especially when it involves dungeons, dragons and deranged game players. When Erik's girlfriend leaves him for another man – a man entrenched in the world of live-action role play (LARP) – he has no choice but to pack up and follow her, plunging himself into a strange and disorienting world where people take their medieval costumes and rules of play very seriously – and where "playing" can have deadly consequences.
As Erik (Ricky Mabe, Zack and Miri Make a Porno, the upcoming Goon) stumbles through this world of Vikings, Celts and elves, rules are broken, jealousies inflamed, and the game turns frighteningly real. With THE WILD HUNT director Alexandre Franchi, in his award-winning directorial debut, accomplishes the near impossible, crafting a dark and twisting thriller set entirely in the world of LARPing. Shot on location in an actual Quebec village built specifically for LARP, THE WILD HUNT blurs the line between fantasy and reality. Source: Amazon.com
