The Wild Hunt 2011

In the tumultuous relationship between Erik Magnusson and his girlfriend Evelyn, a significant rift emerges against the emotionally charged backdrop of Erik’s ailing father. As their tensions reach a boiling point, Evelyn decides to immerse herself in a live-action role-playing game, where medieval characters such as Celts, elves, and Vikings come alive in a captivating atmosphere. Within this enchanted realm, Murtagh, the charismatic leader of a powerful faction, becomes infatuated with Evelyn and ensnares her into participating in the Wild Hunt—a hazardous ritual that promises a considerable edge in an impending mass battle.

Determined not to lose Evelyn, Erik sets out on a quest that not only disrupts the game’s activities but also leads him to forge uneasy alliances with his estranged brother Bjorn and other players. His journey culminates in a daring rescue of Evelyn from the grip of Murtagh and the dangers of the Wild Hunt, reigniting their romance against all odds. Despite Murtagh’s relentless attempts to coax Evelyn back into his fold, she stands firm in her decision to be with Erik.

However, as Erik’s absence weighs heavily on Murtagh and his pride is shattered, the leader begins to lose his grip on reality. In a fit of rage, he performs a ritualistic severing of his gamer wristband before unleashing a horrific assault on the main camp, leaving destruction and chaos in his wake. Tragically, Erik becomes a victim of Murtagh’s fury, succumbing to his injuries while the enraged leader flees into the shadows of the woods, forced to witness Evelyn’s heartbreaking sacrifice.

In the wake of these traumatic events, Bjorn seeks to avenge his brother’s untimely death. A few days later, driven by grief and fury, he breaks into Murtagh’s home and administers a brutal beating that ultimately ends in Murtagh’s demise, exacting a violent retribution for Erik’s tragic fate.
