Bit of an odd one. DiBlasi remakes his own film (Last Shift), which was just released 8 years ago. It's a bit early for a remake if you ask me, not in the least because the original was quite good (and still holds up, I imagine). That said, I did enjoy Malum quite a bit, even though it brings nothing new to the table. A new recruit asks to spend the night at the old police station before it gets torn down. One year earlier her father killed herself, after taking care of a cult leader. Members of the cult are wreaking havoc outside, and strange things are happening around the old station. The night is about to get a lot worse when a homeless guy breaks in. There are few surprises here since the film follows the same build-up as Last Shift. Not that I remember too many specifics from that film, but enough for Malum to feel familiar. It's still a pretty good horror flick though, with some creepy creatures, a couple of tense scenes, and a pretty insane finale. Unnecessary, but fun.Read all
Horror flick that makes the best of its location. A lone rookie keeping guard in an abandoned police station provides ample material for some good old scares, director DiBlasi milks it for all its worth. The horror elements are effective, the acting is decent and the ending is properly twisted. Not the most original film, but some fine horror filler nonetheless.
