Storyline
In 1989, the boy Martin Bristol has congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis (CIPA), a rare neural disorder, in which the patient does not feel pain, heat or cold. He is abducted by the deranged serial-killer Graham Sutter (Brett Rickaby) and brought to the Sutter Meat & Poultry, an abandoned meat-packing plant in Minersville, Pennsylvania, where Graham slaughters young women that he kidnaps. Five years later, the stubborn seventeen year-old teenager Allison Miller loses her parents and moves to the house of her uncle Jonathan Miller that is located near to the decrepit plant. Jonathan, his wife Karen and their little daughter Wendy welcome Allison, but the teenager does not give much attention to her new family. Allison likes to run alone on the road and she passes by the meat-packing plant and then she meets the mechanic William "Billy" and has a crush on him. Jonathan advises Allison to avoid running near the old factory and Billy, who is a problematic teenager. Allison ... Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Graham Sutter: Hi there. I bought this new bike for my nephew's birthday, but he doesn't like the color. Can you believe that? I was gonna just throw it out when I saw you and I thought, "There's a kid who'd probably love a new bike." Am I right?

I've been watching horror films for 50 years and have seen almost everything. Slasher films have left me almost completely bored the last few years. With the exception of The Collector there really hasn't been a decent slasher film since Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Halloween and the Nightmare films (well, most of them).
Almost all current slasher films are the same. 6 kids (5,8... name your number) all go out to a party (the woods, a haunted house...etc.) and get killed in unusual ways by an unknown attacker. Boring. Bereavement changes all that. Without going into any detail here's a movie that will literally keep you glued to your screen from beginning to end. I've liked Michael Biehn since I first saw him in the original Terminator movie and, for the most part, he's never let me down with his acting. He gives another great performance here. Brett Rickaby is perfect as the tormented killer. He's scary, anguished, and ruthless and should be put up there along with Meyers, Vorhees and Krueger. Alexandra Daddario shows her best acting in any movie she's been in to date and Spencer List is perfect as the kid who's put through everything imaginable and makes his own future.
Unlike most horror films today there's no comedy in this one. It's flat out ruthless from beginning to end. Again, except for The Collector, this is the first slasher film I've seen in years where I truly hope they make a sequel.
I've never written a review before and joined IMDb today just so I could write about this one. If horror is your thing you certainly won't have wasted your time viewing this one. Hell, you might even want to watch it a second time right away. When was the last time you could say that about any of these?
