Ghost Bastard (2026) is an upcoming horror-comedy film that blends supernatural chaos with irreverent humor. Positioned within the dark comedy and paranormal genre, the movie balances absurd situations with genuine eerie moments. Rather than taking a traditional haunted-house approach, it leans into character-driven comedy while still delivering suspense and unexpected twists.
The film follows a struggling small-time con artist who inherits an old countryside property from a distant relative he barely knew. Hoping to flip it for quick cash, he moves in temporarily—only to discover the house is already occupied by a foul-mouthed, unpredictable ghost who refuses to leave.
Unlike typical spirits seeking revenge or closure, this ghost has attitude, unfinished business, and a deep resentment toward the living. Their constant clashes—ranging from sabotaged renovation attempts to public embarrassments—form the comedic core of the film. However, as the protagonist digs into the history of the house, he uncovers a darker truth behind the ghost’s anger.
What begins as a nuisance haunting evolves into a reluctant partnership when outside developers attempt to demolish the property, threatening both the man’s financial hopes and the ghost’s existence. Forced to work together, they unravel secrets tied to betrayal and injustice from decades earlier.
