THE BAD BATCH follows Arlen (Waterhouse) after she's left in a
Texas wasteland fenced off from civilization. While trying to navigate the
unforgiving landscape, Arlen is captured by a savage band of cannibals led by
the mysterious Miami Man (Momoa). With her life on the line, she makes her way
to The Dream (Reeves). As she adjusts to life in 'the bad batch' Arlen
discovers that being good or bad mostly depends on who's standing next to you.

Having seen Ana Lily Amirpour, the director’s first film A
GIRL WALKS HOME AT NIGHT I had high hopes for her most recent film THE BAD
BATCH. Seeing the trailer for this film made me feel so many things toward hope
that this film would be better than her first. Upon viewing the film the
premise and the first 20 minutes held a glimmer of hope to surpassing what I
felt for A GIRL WALKS HOME ALONE AT NIGHT. In the end THE BAD BATCH though
having elements that I enjoyed it ended up telling a story that went nowhere,
which was unfortunate and also confusing. Further more with some A-list
celebrities playing atypical roles in this film furthered my hopes that it may
have been more enjoyable than it was. So in the end I give THE BAD BATCH 3
stars of 5.
