Malum

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.
