Bereavement
It's a terrifying story for a young boy named Martin Bristol. These horrific events began with Martin, a 6-year-old boy, through a terrifying position in his childhood as he was abducted from his backyard swing. After Martin's abduction, he was forced to watch the brutal crimes of a crazy and strange man, where things then moved to a terrifying turning point that might have completely changed Martin's life.

Palinesque, bland and increasingly silly with oodles of unintentional humor instead of what every horror fan expects: palpable scares.

"Bereavement" is cruel and unusual.

This is an example of what happens when a clever, proficient filmmaker falls in love with brutal trash.

"Bereavement" isn't a bad slasher film, but after a few stabs (no pun intended) at being something more, it settles for being just a slasher film. And that's disappointing.

while Bereavement is certainly a slasher, it is also a film about how monsters are made, in which every character, hero and villain alike, is figured as tragic prey to genes and circumstance.

The film is so laughably Freudian it could play as a parody of certain acclaimed horror film studies such as Men, Women and Chainsaws: Gender in the Horror Film.

I'd sooner touch a nine-volt battery to my tongue than sit through this film again.

Gruesome in the moment, but your memory of it is easily wiped clean.

Evidence of a group of filmmakers who take their horror seriously.

Bereavement -- miraculously as dull as its title -- is neither far gone enough to be funny nor well thought-out enough to be disturbing.

Effective atmospherics don't rescue this formulaic slasher flick.

Virtually every shot in Bereavement -- a sort of prequel to Mena's Malevolence (2005) -- is the right one; the editing, also by Mena, is first-rate.
