What the Critics are Saying…

A blood-soaked cult-infested movie.”​ –MOVIE REVIEWS 101

“Night of the Bastard is a grimy, brutal take on the 70’s action thriller. It wears its grindhouse on its sleeve but delivers enough unique touches of its own stand out from the crowd.”​ –STARBURST MAGAZINE

There’s more to Night of the Bastard than just a standard siege story. It’s a brilliant subversion of the tropes and cliches of this particular sub-genre but one that’s hinted at from the very title of the film!“​- NERDLY UK
