This V/H/S entry was very fun! The storyline’s were good, the acting was incredible, and as always the ideas were original and entertaining. This entry was a lot more fast paced than all of the other V/H\S films, which might be a good thing. However, personally I did find that because of this, the mysterious, slow paced charm seen in the earlier entries was missing. For future entries (if any) it would be good to see an incorporation of more detailed storyline’s, and plot twists, which is what made the earlier entries so horrifying even with the lower budget - less really is more! There was some parts where the mix between practical and CGI effects were a little bit clunky, but overall it was a well done job. Would definitely say it is worth a watch.

This. Movie. Sucked. The original film that this movie was based off was Last Shift, which in my opinion is one of the greatest horror films I have ever seen…and I have seen a lot! Despite the negative reviews I had to give this film a chance, especially since it was produced by the same director as Last Shift. Malum lacked every aspect that made Last Shift so terrifying, it’s almost like Malum took the lesser parts of Last Shift and made an entire movie. This film was boring, repetitive, and confusing. The only redeeming qualities of this film was the special effects and gore which did shine through and the adding of extra lore behind the story of Last Shift, however both not enough to take away from negatives. Remaking Last Shift was a huge mistake, as it takes away from the originality that made the film so great.

This movie was an incredible film. The gore and visual effects were outstanding, the plot was strong, and the acting phenomenal. Going into the film I had no idea of the storyline and remained at the edge of my seat as twist after twist occurred. I consider the ending to this movie to be the strongest part, as it is not cliche and allows for interpretation. The only downside to this film is that it is very disturbing and heavy on the violence, sometimes too heavy. If you are strong willed to get past that aspect, watch this film, you will not regret it.

This film was OK, it was entertaining and had some good jump scares and laughs however it did fall short in many aspects. The performance of the main character was outstanding and carried the film in my opinion, however this was not enough to create a strong plot or striking visuals and thus the film became boring at times. This is a great movie to chuck on for a quick laugh and for occasional viewing, but I’m afraid that’s as far as it goes in terms of quality.
