Bait takes place in a small English town that, behind closed doors, is plagued by Jeremy (Slinger), a vicious loan shark. Exploiting and terrorising the town with help from a mysterious skin head, Jeremy has everything he wants. His latest victims are Bex and Dawn who just wanted to get their business off the ground but fall in with Jeremy after the bank denies them a loan. Jeremy quickly makes life hell for the ladies. Will they pay off the debt or will Jeremy’s impatience be the end of them?
Bait is an enjoyable British thriller. It’s tense and violent, well acted and well shot. I also really enjoyed the cameo of Lee Hardcastle, who directed the T is for Toilet segment in ABCs of Death, and has another of his wonderful claymation shorts as a post-credits scene in Bait. Dominic Brunt brings us something much darker from the English villages and I look forward to seeing what he does next.
I saw this film at it's premiere at the Leeds International Film Festival 2014 and was delighted to find a gripping story with very interesting characters. Both female leads were fantastic in their roles and I was gripped from start to finish. It is a definite step up for Director Dominic Brunt after his directorial debut with Before Dawn (2012) and both the character building and story have improved dramatically. The story is thrilling and the actions of the film's Loan Shark villain are brutal and visceral, often shockingly so. This only adds to the gritty, real world quality the film presents to us. I would recommend this film to anyone who enjoys a good thriller!
