Reviews:

“In a genre that has seen it all, done it all, and have done it death all the time, it is refreshing to see a film that takes so many chances to create something while odd, at least unique and very entertaining.” James D., Wicked Channel

“Patrick Robert Young and Powell Robinson deliver on every level with their debut thriller that goes for the horror fans mind as well as their heart. Bastard is worth all the attention it has been getting.” Sinful Celluloid

Spine-ripping fun

“There is some good in Bastard, though, and it shows up in the final 20 minutes where the real horror starts to settle in. It goes from being largely by-the-numbers to unexpectedly dark and gruesome, which was a welcome surprise after the middle portion of the movie.” Ryan C., Rhino’s Horror

“Bastard is good fun slasher that knows where it is going and knows how to get there. Powell & Young certainly have talent and I can’t wait to see where they go next (once you see the film you might know where!).” Ryan Morrissey-Smith, Haddonfield Horror
