Night of the Bastard

Disgruntled hermit Reed lives a solitary life in the desert. After chasing away a group of youths trying to party near his home, his peaceful life is violently upheaved when a group of demonic 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 master plan. Director Eric Boccio and actor/producer/musician London May's (of the Danzig fronted band Samhain, et al) first feature-length film under their exploitation-themed slate, YOUR FUNERAL, is a supernatural take on the siege film with a scorched earth performance by May. NIGHT OF THE BASTARD is equal parts white-knuckle tension and blood-soaked terror that hearkens back to the 1970s action-heavy horror of RACE WITH THE DEVIL.
