Bio
Kevin Bachar is an EMMY winning documentary director and WGA screenwriter. The horror film he wrote - The Inhabitant - was released through Lionsgate and is currently streaming on Amazon Prime, Hulu and Apple+. The film – El Monstruo – from his screenplay, is in pre-production with MarVista and Marginal MediaWorks.
His documentary experience gives his writing an authenticity that can only come from being on the front lines of war zones or on ride-alongs with cops. Kevin’s also one of the premier natural history filmmakers in the world. If you watch Shark Week, National Geographic or PBS you’ve seen his work. He’s the idiot in the water with sharks, or crawling in caves filming vampire bats.
Complimenting his filmmaking, Kevin has lectured and given presentations at prestigious institutions such as Rutgers University, American University and the Rubin Museum of Art.
Clients include Lionsgate, Highland Films, MarVista, National Geographic, Discovery Channel, TLC, A&E, Bio, Speed, Fuel TV, FOX, Travel Channel, History Channel, PBS, WE and HGTV.
Kevin is also a member of the Horror Writer's Association.

REVIEWS FOR THE INHABITANT
...there’s a lot more finesse here in the telling of the backstory...and a sense of menace lurking around every corner in the bland suburban setting; together it evokes indie “elevated horror” features such as It Follows.
Writer Kevin Bachar and director Jerren Lauder have made a film that transcends genre and finds a way to layer psychology, teen angst, and family drama into the fright.
"The Inhabitant" is clever horror movie that also leans into teen angst and family drama. It’s a sophisticated murder mystery where the body count isn’t increasing for no reason in this psychological horror film that is as intelligent as it is scary.
