The premise

Martin Bristol returns to where it all began: the home where he was kidnapped from. But he is not the boy who disappeared over 10 years ago. Tortured and abused at the hands of his psychotic captor Graham Sutter, Martin is damaged beyond repair. Lurking in the shadows of suburbia, he stalks and kills without remorse. Special Agent William Perkins follows Martin's trail of terror, desperate to capture him before he kills again. Martin's family, mourning his disappearance for over 10 years, is informed not only that he is alive, but that he is responsible for the wave of murder sweeping through their town. Will they be able to reunite with their long-lost son before it's too late, or will Perkins have to use force to bring him down?

Horror Vault's take

A decade after his abduction, Martin Bristol resurfaces in the quiet streets of suburbia — but the boy his family mourned is gone, replaced by something far more dangerous. Shaped by years of brutal captivity, Martin prowls the neighborhood like a ghost, leaving a mounting body count in his wake. A tenacious FBI agent closes in from one direction while Martin's shattered family approaches from another, each desperate for a resolution that may not be possible. This third chapter in the Malevolence saga delivers small-town slasher dread steeped in the tragedy of a life stolen and warped beyond recognition.
