Bereavement (DVD)

September 30, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Michael Biehn, Alexandra Daddario, Spencer List, Brett Rickaby
Director: Steven Mena
Running Time: 103 mins
Certificate: 18
Release Date: October 1st 2012

The people behind Bereavement certainly studied their horror films before they made the movie. Psychotic, nutty ritualistic killer? Check. Creepy kid? Check. Young women who don’t wear bras screaming and being slaughtered? Check. Liberal sprinklings of blood and guts? Check. Generic but slightly sinister titles? Check. But while it may have all right ingredients, it’s not a completely satisfying concoction.

Teenager Allison (Percy Jackson’s Alexandra Daddario) moves in with her uncle (Michael Biehn) and his family after her parents die.

Starring: Lauren German, Milo Ventimiglia, Michael Biehn, Rosanna Arquette
Director: Xavier Gens
Running Time: 112 mins
Certificate: 18
Release Date: April 20th, 2012

I think it’s safe to say that if you want a nice, jolly couple of hours, The Divide probably isn’t the best movie to watch. It’s dark, relentlessly pessimistic, often unpleasant and more than a little depressing. It’s certainly not completely without merit, but it ain’t fun.

In the great, no fuss opening, a nuclear explosion is tearing through New York City and a group of random people race for the safety of a basement/slash bomb shelter. The owner of the basement, Mickey (Michael Biehn), doesn’t want them down there, but with radiation swirling above, he doesn’t have much choice. [Read more…]
