Stevan Mena’s BEREAVEMENT received some very solid reviews upon its release, most of them calling it an unrelenting, bleak and serious horror effort. (Read The Arrow’s positive take right HERE.) It got a limited theatrical release on MARCH 4th, but most folks weren’t able to peep it because of, well, just how very limited the release was. But there’s light at the end of the tunnel for those of you anxious to get a glimpse of this monster.
Today we heard from the director himself that BEREAVEMENT hits DVD, Blu Ray, Video OnDemand and PPV this summer, courtesy of Anchor Bay! No release dates just yet, but at least you know that the wheels are in motion.
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 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.
The film stars Alexandra Daddario, Nolan Funk, Michael Biehn, John Savage, Spencer List, and Brett Rickaby. We’ll update you on the various release dates when we get them.
