In the chilling horror film Bastard, a desperate young woman, played by Tonya Kay, finds herself trapped in a waking nightmare. After a violent assault, she seeks refuge in a remote farmhouse, only to discover the sinister family living there, including Rebekah Kennedy and Ellis Greer, are harboring a monstrous secret far more terrifying than the threat she fled. As the lines between captive and protector blur, she is forced into a brutal fight for survival against a primal evil that defies understanding. Directed by Powell Robinson and Patrick Robert Young, who also wrote the screenplay, this tense and visceral descent into folk horror builds an atmosphere of relentless dread. The film explores the dark corners of trauma and the terrifying lengths one must go to confront a legacy of violence, featuring gripping performances from Emily Lopato and Dan Creed.
