Trailer for thriller The Wilderness starring Lamar Johnson and Hunter Doohan

August 22, 2025 by Amie Cranswick

Dark Star Pictures has shared a poster and trailer for the upcoming thriller The Wilderness.

Written and directed by Spencer King and produced by Breaking Bad’s Aaron Paul, the film centres on a group of troubled teenage boys as they are taken from their homes and forced to participate in a brutal therapy program in the Utah desert. 

The cast includes Lamar Johnson, Hunter Doohan, Liana Liberato, Sean Avery, Vinessa Shaw, Sam Jaeger, Aaron Holliday, Matt Gomez-Hidaka, and James Le Gros.

A group of troubled teenage boys are kidnapped from their homes and taken deep into the unforgiving Utah desert, where they are forced into a brutal and secretive “Wilderness Therapy” program. With no contact with the outside world, their only way home is to earn the approval of the enigmatic program director—whose motives are far from therapeutic. As the line between rehabilitation and manipulation blurs, the boys must decide whether to survive the program or escape it. 

The Wilderness arrives in cinemas on October 17th.
