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
