Night of the Bastard (2022)

Directed by Erik Boccio (The West Files)

After an injured young woman takes refuge in his secluded home, a gruff recluse must fight off a bloodthirsty cult and an insatiable sorceress to save both of their lives. A battle to survive becomes a gripping race against the clock to escape a perverse ritual of blood and flesh.

"Night of the Bastard is a grimy, brutal take on the ‘70s action thriller. It wears its grindhouse influences on its sleeve, but delivers enough unique touches of its own to stand out from the crowd." - Joel Harley, Starburst


"Night of the Bastard opens in 1978 with a prologue that feels like it’s stepped straight out of that era – not only in terms of visuals but also in terms of the brutality of what occurs." - Phil Wheat, Nerdly


"Night of the Bastard is fun. Stupid fun. Be ready for a low-budget B-Movie brawler of a picture." - Eric Li, ScariestThings.com

Disgruntled hermit Reed lives a solitary life in the desert. After chasing away a group of youths trying to party near his home, Reed’s peaceful life is violently upheaved when a group of savage cultists lay siege to his house. Forced to partner up with one of the partygoers, Reed and his newfound colleague must defend themselves into the night, all while long-buried and disturbing secrets are revealed to him as part of the cult’s evil plan.

A decidedly supernatural take on the siege film, Night of the Bastard is equal parts white-knuckle tension and jawdropping horror.
