Bereavement Trailer: That Ain't No Way To Raise A Child

It’s no secret that I don’t particularly care for children. Oh, yes, sure, I’m certain your little angels are wonderful and charming and all that crap, but I don’t like ‘em and don’t trust ‘em. You know what’s even more disturbing than your run-of-the-mill ankle-biter? One raised by a serial killer. Thanks, Bereavement. A whole new thing to be terrified of. Swell.

There are roughly five children on this planet that I don’t mind (yes, Dustin’s little one is on that list — kid’s friggin’ adorable, can’t be helped), but the rest I am severely distrustful of. And I’m betting that the kiddo in this trailer ain’t gonna make that list either. Here’s a little rundown for you:

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 horrors. 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.

Ze trailer:

I mean, eek. Here’s a recent TV spot to whet your appetites more:

Hell, I don’t know if the kid goes crazy and gets all torturey-porny under the crazy man’s tutelage, but his shit can in no way be correct after five years of that. Anyway, the film stars Corporal Hicks Kyle Reese Michael Beihn and Alexandra Daddario, who was one of the better parts of the otherwise average Percy Jackson And The Olympians (yes, I saw it, no, I don’t know why, and yes, it was better than Clash Of The Titans). The horror sites/mags have been raving about Bereavement, for what that’s worth, but the trailer certainly has me curious.

Hey, Michael Biehn's still working! I think I'll see this just to support the man's career.

Right, but who's the woman with the cleavage?

so, when i was six years old, my parents took me to see Terry Gilliam's Time Bandits.

i think their reasoning for taking me along went something like this:

"It's from the Monty Python animation guy."
"It's about a little boy and midgets."
"John Cleese! Micheal Palin! Sean Connery!"
"And midgets!"

and, for the most part, i actually was ok with the movie, considering how dark and really not-meant-for-six-year-olds it was.

until the last act, when Kevin and the Time Bandits ended up at the Devil's palace. that's when the Devil sent his monsters after them. his monsters? 7 feet tall, with steer's skulls for heads wearing torn, black robes.

they freaked the shit out of me.

that night, i was lying in bed and i couldn't shake the image of these things. i was terrified. i couldn't fall asleep because i knew they would be chasing me in my dreams. i had to pee, but i was too scared to go down the long hallway to the bathroom because i just knew they were waiting for me. so i ended up peeing in my waste-paper basket. a week later my mother noticed the smell and confronted me about it but i was too ashamed to tell her that i had been too scared to make it to the bathroom.

i haven't thought about those creatures or that shameful night for 29 years.

thanks TK. thanks a lot.

" Percy Jackson And The Olympians (yes, I saw it, no, I don’t know why, and yes, it was better than Clash Of The Titans)."

I am going to have to totally disagree with what you just said here. Totally.

Clash of the Titans was a decent popcorn flick, Percy Jackson was a complete pile of shit.

I left the TV on Syfy (I use their new moniker only in derision) and found Biehn in some recent vampire flick, it was pretty terrible, but man that guy rules. I don't dig horror, but this one gets my money.

"so i ended up peeing in my waste-paper basket. a week later my mother noticed the smell and confronted me about it but i was too ashamed to tell her.."

HAHAHAHAHAHA Time Bandits PWNED!

Bah, call me when the victims were also raised by victims. Now THAT'S a concept.

@Lucas

I like how you think.

@TK

I'm gonna have to go ahead and agree with you about kids. They're just like people, but without benefit of reason or experience.

As for Bereavement?. Yeah, I'm gonna watch the hell out of that!

The concept of this movie makes me want to cry, but that is par for the course for me. What I want to know is how they film these things. I noted that on Boardwalk Empire they seemed to be using green screen to make it appear that children were witnessing the violence between their parents. Does that apply here?

Seriously, sh*t like this movie just breaks my heart. I am CLEARLY a far more delicate flower than I ever realised. I'll go away now and stick the to threads that don't induce atomic fetal weeping.

@Lucas - Alexandra Daddario apparently - chesty warrior girl from Percy Jackson.

Now less girl, more chesty!

Oh, that kid is so going to be put on the "naughty step".

Posted by: Simon at February 24, 2011 1:27 PM

TK, am i missing something?
These trailers are quick edits of attractive women screaming. How is this different from any other horror/torture-porn movie? Its "concept"? That frankly isn't new either.

And if leuce7 wants to support the Biehn... looks like they'll be sitting through Take Me Home Tonight. To which i say "HA fucking Ha!"
Smell the Fogler. i said smell it!!!! (now that is horror)

Isn't Pajiba above the "huge busted wet chick for the header pic" to sell a story about what looks to be completely average torture porn?

I feel a bit conflicted in this, because I think I've established I'm very pro on the female form, especially boobs. I support them. With my hands, whenever possible.

But if I wanted wet cleavage shots selling torture porn wouldn't I go to any of the zillion thoughtless adolescent fanboy sites out there?

I don't think that's Alexandra Daddario, but I can't match up her face to anyone in the cast either. Which is a shame, because damn.
