It’s an 80’s slasher flick with new blood, directors Patrick R Young and Powell Robinson tell Shock of their upcoming Bastard, the newly released trailer for which shows off a composed, bloody little throwback comprised of gore, electronic cues and Albertus.
We don’t want to make a joke out of the time period, the filmmakers continue, but rather use it as an inspiration to tell a character driven horror story that evokes the same nostalgia you feel watching cult classics like Halloween, My Bloody Valentine and Sleepaway Camp. Expect all practical effects and a synth heavy score.
Bastard follows newlywed, hitch-hiking serial killers; a brother and sister on the run; and a trigger-happy suicidal cop as they get caught in an increasingly bizarre series of murders committed by a masked killer near a mountain-town bed and breakfast.
You can keep up with Bastard, currently seeking distribution, at the films official Facebook.
