Frightfest 2015 Podcasts: #22 – Bait

A tense female revenge saga and frightening true-life crime thriller graced by a scalpel-sharp screenplay and extraordinary performances. Two women who dream of opening their own café in a work-depressed northern town go to the wrong person for a loan in this chilling allegory of the economic brutality independent businesses face within the austerity-led banking system. Unable to meet the outrageous payment demands, the hardened duo must find it within themselves to take pitiless, bloody retribution on their malicious aggressor.

Following the films screening at Frightfest, Nerdly writer and host of the Britflick podcast, Stuart Wright, talks to Bait director Dominic Brunt about the film and its forthcoming nationwide release.

Bait is released in cinemas on Friday 4th September 2015. The DVD is available from Monday 7th September 2015. Keep up to date with the film using the following on twitter: #BAIT or say hello to the director @dominicbrunt
