Bereavement Reviews
NYC Film Critic
Ethan Alter
Gruesome in the moment, but your memory of it is easily wiped clean.
Slant Magazine
Chuck Bowen
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.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
Palinesque, bland and increasingly silly with oodles of unintentional humor instead of what every horror fan expects: palpable scares.
New York Times
Paul Brunick
I'd sooner touch a nine-volt battery to my tongue than sit through this film again.
Newsday
John Anderson
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.
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
Duane Dudek
"Bereavement" is cruel and unusual.
Dread Central
Steve
It truly plays like one person's nightmarish descent into a world of total madness. It gives you a feel for who Martin Bristol is and why he's so lethal. On that level the film is a complete success.
What Would Toto Watch?
Christian Toto
Bereavement is one nasty piece of work.
Capital Times (Madison, WI)
Rob Thomas
"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.
Compuserve
Harvey S. Karten
It's difficult to care about people who are all stupid to a fault.
TheFilmFile.com
Dustin Putman
A character-centric thriller signifying Mena's progression as a filmmaker even as it doesn't quite retain the same home-grown charm and earnestness of its predecessor.
Shockya.com
Perri Nemiroff
Incredible improvement from Malevolence in terms of camerawork, score and performances. Bereavement paints a horrifyingly vivid picture of the mind of a psychopathic killer.
Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
Effective atmospherics don't rescue this formulaic slasher flick.
Village Voice
Nick Pinkerton
Bereavement -- miraculously as dull as its title -- is neither far gone enough to be funny nor well thought-out enough to be disturbing.
TheHorrorShow
Scott Weinberg
Evidence of a group of filmmakers who take their horror seriously.
Film Journal International
Maitland McDonagh
In this deliberately paced horror movie, a big-city teen homes in on the darkness at the edge of a small Pennsylvania town, with grim results.
NewsBlaze
Prairie Miller
Though Mena refers to his sadistically sliced up female brisket as therapeutic, there's a line between calming viewer fears, and titillating them. While human chopped meat served up raw making you go vegetarian, isn't exactly relished food for thought.
Projected Figures
Anton Bitel
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.
