Bereavement

Bereavement (2010)

There are some evils...so unspeakable...they will scar you forever.

In 1989, six year old Martin Bristoll was kidnapped from his backyard swing in Minersville Pennsylvania. Graham Sutter, a psychotic recluse, kept Martin imprisoned on his derelict pig farm, forcing him to witness and participate in unspeakable horrors. Chosen at random, his victim's screams were drowned out by the rural countryside. For five years, Martin's whereabouts have remained a mystery, until 17 year old Allison Miller comes to live with her Uncle, Jonathan. While exploring her new surroundings, Allison discovers things aren't quite right at the farmhouse down the road. Her curiosity disturbs a hornet's nest of evil and despair that once torn open, can never be closed.

Interesting facts

Bereavement is a 2010 American crime horror film directed by Stevan Mena and starring Michael Biehn, Brett Rickaby, Alexandra Daddario, Nolan Gerard Funk, and Spencer List. It serves as a prequel to 2004's Malevolence, and is the second installment in the titular film series. The plot takes place chronologically prior to the previous installment, with the story centering around an abducted six-year-old boy (List) who is forced to bear witness to the crimes of a madman (Rickaby) for five whole gruesome years.

Production

During post-production, director Stevan Mena's initial cut of the film was three hours long. Things cut from the film included overtly gory scenes. The film is a prequel to Malevolence, stating "The only way to describe it is like an epic horror story. It's more in the vein of The Shining, whereas the original was kind of like Halloween or Friday the 13th. Bereavement is more of a character study".
