Joseph and Mike have made it no secret that they have a soft spot in their hearts for the old drive-in theaters and the types of movies you'd see there.  Based on the synopsis, Night of the Bastard looks like it will be provide a good throwback to those days.

Disgruntled hermit Reed lives a solitary life in the desert. After chasing away a group of youths trying to party near his home, Reed’s peaceful life is violently upheaved when a group of savage cultists lay siege to his house. 
Forced to partner up with one of the party-goers, 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 plan.
