The beauty of the character is that we don't know anything about him..he's just an indestructible killer with one goal. Why he can take so many bullets, stabbings, clubbings, etc..is immaterial. We fear him because we don't know why he can do what he can do. To try & "humanize" Myers was a ridiculous idea! Mena's characterizations are fresh & feel new because we get to know the characters a bit before the shit hits the fan & even afterwards as well. Even though we might think "been there, done that" when the film startswe don't feel that way at the (disturbing) ending. If they ever make a "Halloween 3? Mena should be given a shot at writing the script & directing it if he desires. He knows how to make this kind of film & he understands how to make people care for the characters. Even the villains garner some sort of pity in his films.
I know people felt awful at Graham's demise towards the end of the film. That's a combination of a great actor & a great script coming together in a cohesive manner. Brett Rickaby knew exactly what the script demanded of him & rather than shy away or try to imbue the character with more of himself, he plays his card as the script lays them out. Actually all of the actors do. There is hardly a false note in any of the performances given here.
I really mean it when I say that "Bereavement" is the new gold standard in the "Psycho Killer" genre. That might sound a bit pretentious at first but one you see it you'll agree. It really is an amazing movie with an amazing cast & a nearly perfect script. I say nearly perfect only because in all honesty, what is perfect? I do have issues with the choices some of the characters make in the film but at the same time I understood that without these choices the film would be 40 min. long & nowhere near as exciting as it is. Mena covers himself nicely by having the audience get to know & care about the characters a bit more than normal .
"Bereavement" has to be seen by anyone who considers themselves to be a fan of this type of film & even if it isn't your usual cup of cinematic tea you should see it anyway & realize what's been wrong with films that you've seen in this genre in the past. It is a stunning achievement in the genre & I can't wait for his next film!.Netwebsite.In Is A Free Movies Website Where You Can Watch Full Movie Free. To View The Full HD Click Here
