The Wait Exclusive Clip: A Ghostly Taunting
Spanish writer and director F. Javier Gutierrez is known for his genre work, from tackling the Ring franchise with Rings and looking at serial killers in the post-apocalypse with Before The Fall. Now, he’s taking on the horror/fantasy world with his latest film The Wait, a haunting folk tale perfect for a Halloween watchlist, especially if you’re craving a gnarly slow burn.
In the film,
Deep in the Andalusian countryside, Eladio (Clavijo) has been hired to watch over the hunting grounds of Don Francisco’s estate, somewhere in rural Spain. The estate is divided into ten hunting stands, spaced far enough apart to avoid incidents. After three years of service, Don Carlos—Don Francisco’s second in command—offers him a bribe to add an additional three stands to the property. Eladio initially hesitates, but his wife eventually convinces him to take the money. Eladio’s greed has unfortunate consequences that drag his entire family to perdition, and plunge him into the depths of guilt, hatred, and revenge.
Our exclusive clip teases what haunts Eladio and the depths of his regret…

Gutierrez said of his latest film, “I’m truly excited to share with American audiences this unsettling story of guilt, loss, revenge, and class divides. Deeply human and rich with symbolism and biblical references, The Wait is my most personal and uncompromising film to date. I extend my heartfelt thanks to Film Movement for making this possible and for their unwavering support and dedication to filmmakers and film lovers around the world.”
Victor Clavijo (Before the Fall), Ruth Diaz, Manuel Moron, and Luis Callejo (Below Zero) star in the film.
The Wait launches on digital and VOD from Film Movement on October 4, 2024.
