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.

When you go to a horror movie, you expect one basic thing: to be scared. This movie does not deliver. Not only does it not deliver in the "scare me" department, but the scenes are so utterly ridiculous, the acting so insanely over the top, and the direction so pitifully bad that I had to walk out at the 3/4 mark of the film. It's just really bad on all levels. It's so bad that it's not even worth watching just to see how bad it is. I can forgive a lot when I go to movies these day (they do seem to be going down hill), but this one is not worth watching for any amount of money. And if it were free, I'd rather watch Madea's Big Happy Family.

This nutjob kidnaps a small boy to be a kind of mute companion / trainee / witness to his bloody murders. He kidnaps a screamy teenage girl (one of many, this one is particularly screamy, though), but her family (all people who have never seen a horror film before) come to rescue her one by one, and don't notice that the nutjob is creeping up behind them as he despatches them in unpleasant ways (except for Uncle Jonathan who he murders quite nicely with a shotgun). But the nutjob gets killed and the teenage screamy girl escapes, except she doesn't because the small boy knifes her multiple times, the end. This generic mad killer / slasher horror is slightly below average of its type, but gives the impression it thinks it is actually rather good, which it isn't. Michael Biehn and John Savage, a couple of decent actors, are both in it: this doesn't help. Brett Rickaby (of whom it has been said, "Who?") plays the nutjob. He is not very good (this is me being kind about his performance). Alexandra Daddario plays the main protagonist / victim. You will notice her very very blue eyes, her constant ear-splitting screaming and her impressively proportioned and vigorously nippled bosom. And not necessarily in that order.

SPOILER: In 1989, the boy Martin Bristol (Spencer List) has congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis (CIPA), a rare neural disorder, in which the patient does not feel pain, heat or cold. He is abducted by the deranged serial-killer Graham Sutter (Brett Rickaby) and brought to the Sutter Meat & Poultry, an abandoned meat-packing plant in Minersville, Pennsylvania, where Graham slaughters young women that he kidnaps. Five years later, the stubborn seventeen year-old teenager Allison Miller (Alexandra Daddario) loses her parents and moves to the house of her uncle Jonathan Miller (Michael Biehn) that is located near to the decrepit plant. Jonathan, his wife Karen (Kathryn Meisle) and their little daughter Wendy (Peyton List) welcome Allison, but the teenager does not give much attention to her new family. Allison likes to run alone on the road and she passes by the meat-packing plant and then she meets the mechanic William "Billy" (Nolan Gerard Funk) and has a crush on him. Jonathan advises Allison to avoid running near the old factory and Billy, who is a problematic teenager. Allison does not listen to her uncle and brings tragedy to the Miller family. "Bereavement" is a bleak, brutal and gruesome slasher film with a brainless heroine by Stevan Mena. The storyline is cruel with children and most of the directors of horror movies avoid this approach to make the film more commercial. Allison is the key character, but she is too stupid to make the movie work. Her attitude toward her guardians is awkward for an orphan without resources. She is an athlete with big breasts that runs without brassiere, which is unusual. But he worst is to follow an unknown boy through the underground and gruesome basement of an abandoned building seeing jars with blood and weird chains (imagine the smell) without any fear of being raped or attacked by a stranger. Last but not the least, this unpleasant movie is recommended for very specific audiences only. My vote is six. Title (Brazil): Not Available

i have never felt the urge to review a film before but this just needed one that reflects the actual film ! i have no idea how it rates how it does ! I was expecting a lot more than this poor effort good production but suffers from any decent storyline. let alone some poor acting on behalf of the main female ! its so bad you have to see it , because you will find yourself screaming out the obvious thing to do ! Micheal biehn must have needed the paycheck to be in this ! stupid things like a broken down meat packing plant that still has a gas supply and electricity ! ** Spoilers ** when the kid is trying to break the lock on the freezer why cant the dipstick girl point properly to warn him? why doesn't she use the meat hook you can clearly see to break the glass and why does she only see that rod to open the door after a nap ? what is the symbolism of the steer skull? why does it take so long for the fire to start burning and why would she tell the little girl to stay upstairs in her room when the house is on fire ? their are so many more holes in this film it should be watched just to spot them !
