Bereavement (2010)
1/10
An reprehensible and condemnable abomination of a film
5 September 2011
As a dedicated horror fan, this is truly the barrel scrape of the genre.

The entire premise of the film is completely without any merit. The synopsis is a complete misnomer. It's not about the boy being abducted at all. It's about a semi-attractive girl in a new town whose life is already tinged with tragedy being stalked by the weird guy who lives in an old meat processing factory.

He drives the quintessential "scary truck" and is suitably unattractive.

Lots of torture/killing ensues by Weirdo McStabby as the young boy he abducted watches.

The writer/director/producer is clearly trying to get in a few weak allegories here (with the whole boy feels no pain BS) but the whole film is an unrequited snore fest.

You never care about the characters - as there are no characters.

The acting is simply atrocious, main guy not scary or creepy, no sense of tension.

Before this gets ranty - I'll just say to avoid it.
