I loved the first in the series and BEREAVEMENT is a fine sequel/really a prequel, but I don't know what happened with 3. It's like a poor remake of HALLOWEEN (1978), and by poor, I mean in every aspect. Lots and lots of walking (padding) and plot points that make no sense. Leaving the mother and grandmother unguarded is ridiculous given all reasonings and logic up to that point. The creativity on display in the first two MALEVOLENCE films is AWOL and the whole movie feels a bit slap/dash. Even the beauty of the settings and establishing shots are missing form 3. Oh well. I've never made a movie so my hat's still off to all those involved with the production.

So he goes on a killing spree and finally escapes. Never seen an ending like this. Good job

I would have given it a 5.5 if I could, but since we round up here on IMDB I went with 6. Many of the commenters are right when they say it has strong "Halloween" vibes. Sure it's a bit cliche at times, but it's a slasher, and an homage to 80s slasher films, so that's to be expected. It's apart of the genre. I liked it in general. The acting was good and certainly better than most 80s slasher casts. Story was solid enough. And as someone who's always liked 80s horror it was nostalgic. People giving it a 1 are just trying to manipulate the rating in my opinion, and if you like 80s slasher films, I think you'll like it.
