I have heard some really good things about BEREAVEMENT, Stevan Mena’a prequel to MALEVOLENCE. Since I still haven’t seen the latter, I’d probably get on that before I sit down to take in the new one. It’s already won top honors at a couple of horror festivals (including the Atlantic City International Film Festival) and it’s about to open the NYC Horror fest; in anticipation of that, it’s gotten a brand new teaser designed to send a chill or two down your creaky spine.
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 horror. 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 (Alexandra Daddario) comes to live with her Uncle, Jonathan (Michael Biehn). 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.
