Writer/Director Ana Lily Amirpour made a huge impression with her debut feature A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night. It established Amirpour’s distinct sense of style, defiance of genre categorization, and strong grasp of world-building, and her second feature continues that trend.  The new trailer, released by distributor NEON, perfectly encapsulates the film’s tone and panache. More about journey over narrative, this one is guaranteed to be divisive (review).

The film stars Suki Waterhouse, Jason Momoa, Giovani Ribisi, and Keanu Reeves.

The Bad Batch will be released on June 23, 2017.

Plot Synopsis
The highly anticipated follow-up to Amirpour’s acclaimed directorial debut, A GIRL WALKS HOME ALONE AT NIGHT, THE BAD BATCH follows Arlen (Waterhouse) as she is unceremoniously dumped in a Texas wasteland fenced off from civilized society. While trying to orient her unforgiving environment, she is captured by a savage band of cannibals and quickly realizes she’ll have to fight her way through her new reality. As Arlen adjusts to life in ‘the bad batch’ she discovers that being good or bad mostly depends on who you’re standing next to.
