Founded in 2002 as one of the first-ever subscription film services with its DVD-of-the-Month Film Club, Film Movement is now a North American distributor of award-winning independent and foreign films based in New York City. In 2015, Film Movement launched the reissue label Film Movement Classics featuring new restorations released theatrically as well as on home video, with an emphasis on films by auteur directors such as Eric Rohmer, Peter Greenaway and Takeshi Kitano.

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.
