Malum - Official Trailer (2023) Jessica Sula, Candice Coke, Chaney Morrow - YouTube

Watch the creepy trailer for Malum, an upcoming horror movie that is an expanded reimagining of the 2014 horror cult classic, Last Shift.

This is coming out this week. I've never heard of the movie it's based on.

I'm very interested in this one. Last Shift was a solid Indie recommendation of mine that I made here on the forums several years ago and if this amps up the weird/scares then I'm all in.

Got my tickets for Malum on Monday night!

Malum looks promising.
It reminds me of a similar themed movie I watched on Tubi. Last Shift, which is on there now. Ha, that's funny, it's based on Last Shift. Cool.

^ It's the same director remaking his own movie.

I guess this is the only story he has to tell as a filmmaker?

Worked for Sam Raimi.

"We debated for a while if we were going to do an extension of the first movie or if we were going to reimagine it," says DiBlasi. "We went with the reimagining because Scott and I did Last Shift on a very limited budget. I'm very happy with that first film [but] we obviously had to leave some things on the table because of the size of the movie and our shooting schedule.

He has also worked on 9 other movies.

Thanks for the details, Mywnn. Last Shift is pretty good slow build creepy horror from what I remember. I'll have to rewatch it on Tubi.

Saw Malum last night and really dug it. The practical effects were insanely good (RussellFX who did Hellraiser 2022 and a few other recent flicks I enjoyed), and the DiBlasi really seemed to take advantage of his second chance telling the story.

Cool, good to hear, thanks.

I rewatched The Last Shift and it has some good, creepy visuals, although I hope this new film improves on the story a bit for more depth. In Last Shift, she was mostly wandering the Police Station like someone walking through a Haunted Mansion for most of the film. There was a little bit about the reason for the ghosts there, so that was good.

I will say that she does still wander through the station a lot, but there is absolutely more (and an altered) backstory to the cult/ghosts this time around. You can just tell a lot of it was just expanded upon given the higher budget.

I watched Last Shift a couple days prior too, some of the dialogue is verbatim, especially toward the beginning, but it was cool to see how different it got VERY quickly.

That's good to hear it's not a direct remake then. Thanks. I liked Last Shift overall despite some flaws. For a low budget, good horror imagery and nice camera work.

This one really ups the ante with gore and practical FX. Especially in the third act, it gets really metal and crazy Enjoy!

[unberechenbar]

There was some good stuff here but felt like the last act went overboard and didn't make that much sense, like they were just throwing whatever looked scary in. It also got tiring after a while when

[Show spoiler]everything crazy that the main character saw at first turned out to be hallucinations.

Would have liked more background on the entity and what the cult was trying to do. The first half was rather creepy, especially whatever was happening on the street the girl drove down with a lot of police cars. I'd give it a 3/5.
