Bereavement (also known as Malevolence 2: Bereavement) is a 2010 American crime horror film directed by Stevan Mena and starring Michael Biehn, Brett Rickaby, Alexandra Daddario, Nolan Gerard Funk, and Spencer List. It serves as a prequel to 2004's Malevolence, and is the second installment in the titular film series. The plot takes place chronologically prior to the previous installment, with the story centering around an abducted six-year-old boy (List) who is forced to bear witness to the crimes of a madman (Rickaby) for five whole gruesome years.
The film premiered at the Long Island International Film Expo on July 16, 2010, before being released to theaters on March 4, 2011. It received mixed reviews from critics and grossed $10 million against a $2 million budget. A sequel titled Malevolence 3: Killer was released in 2018.
