Official Trailer: Slasher Throwback, Bastard

“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 film’s official Facebook.
