“The Wait” * (2023, Film Movement) A foolish decision causes Victor Clavijo, a gamekeeper for wealthy landowners in a rural Spanish town, to lose his son and wife in rapid succession. But his search for answers to the tragedy – motivated largely by guilt – reveals that their deaths may have been part of a strange ritual involving the town and all those who previously held his job. What begins as a revenge thriller in modern Western dress takes a turn into supernatural horror with religious (established and folk) overtones; all sides are deftly handled by writer-director F. Javier Guiterrez, who also focuses on the rash emotions that fuel them. The striking and often nightmarish visuals are photographed expertly by Miguel Angel Mora; currently available as a VOD title on various platforms.
