| 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 comes to live with her Uncle, Jonathan. 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. | |

Long in development sequel gets a bigger budget (depending on the source, $2M-3.7M vs the $200k of the first) and a bit more talent on the cast side with Michael Biehn, though this likely was Alexandra Daddario's biggest role given it was filmed in late 2007. As with the first, I didn't think it was ... bad but it had a thin story and not very creative as a whole. Won't say I was ever bored, at least. I think I had seen this before when it was released just as Bereavement but this version runs about 7-minutes longer, guess it was better as I rated it at a 4/10 on IMDb, this second viewing was moderately better...
