bereavement and Malevolence


i havent seen either yet but have read up on them and i am going to watch them but im just wanted to know what connects these 2 films i know bereavement is a prequel to Malevolence, but does it share characters etc

I would actually watch Bereavement first now that it's available. Bereavement is the story of a kidnapped young boy who suffers from a condition where he fails to feel pain. A serial killer kidnaps him to mold him into a serial killer himself. Then Malevolence the boy is a young adult and the result of what he became. They both are excellent alone but even better together. Malevolence pays homage musically and visually to classics like Halloween and Friday the 13th part 2 where Bereavement is more on the lines of Frailty and Hostel. I recommend both although Bereavement I love and is a favorite, Malevolence is great but isn't up to the standards of Bereavement.

I'd watch Malevolence first because it might be jarring to see it after the more polished Bereavement. I really like both films though.
