Bastard

Gave this film a chance and was pleasantly surprised at how good it is. With a budget of $87,000 it was a lot better than many films with 100 times that budget. When you consider the amount of money some Hollywood films cost I bet the makers of Bastard must feel pretty proud of themselves. IMDb hasn't listed how much return was made on the expenditure but I hope they made a profit. I wont go into the details for fear of spoiling it for anybody reading this save to say there are plot twists and jumpy scares but also with an intelligence in the story. So give it a chance as I did. If you don't like it then at least its only 80 minutes long and if you do like it then good :-)

This is a bad slasher film that's a bit weird and stupid. It's not the worst movie ever, it's not even the worst movie I've watched today - but it is a bad movie still.

If you got nothing better to do it's a way to waste some time, but keep in mind that the best thing in this movie is the music bit they stole from Halloween - that should tell you what to expect.

...that does not work even for a second. The last 20 minutes are the best, if you can say so, but the first hour is unbearably boring. Terrible cast and direction. Avoid a waste of time!

This movie IS what you want out of a horror film. Personally, I love discovering films that could one day be a horror cult classic. This is one of them!

There's twists, scares, gore, sex, comedy and a little bit of irony all rolled into one. As someone who has seen more than my fair of BAD horror movies, I can definitely tell you this is NOT one of them. I walked away very satisfied and would even sit through it again with friends. That's the kind of feeling you should want walk away from a movie with.

The acting is good, really good. The direction was on point. The death scenes were quick, but in a TCM kind of quick that made them seem a little more realistic. The characters also aren't all one dimensional teens that you root for to get killed off.

I just say, give the film a chance. It's not a masterpiece, but it isn't meant to be. It's meant to be fun (think Sleepaway Camp, kind of fun) and if your idea of fun is watching a good horror that can poke fun at itself with you, then you have found your afternoon flick!

It started out alright with the character building. Some of the characters were even interesting. I liked the two serial killers the most... Well the male one. The female was irritating and irrational most of the time. The suicidal police officer was also irritating and really not needed. His whole story line was a waste of time or even felt like filler. As the movie goes on, it's almost like the writer did not know how to tell a story or how conversations even really work. A lot of conversations were just strange.

I really do think the movie was going the right direction... Till the killing in the town started. That's when the movie basically falls off the cliff into being just straight out poorly done and bad. The writer seemed to have no clue what makes a good movie. They had a good idea and had no idea how to execute it or where to go with it.
