In last shift, it made sense that Jessica had to stay in the old station overnight but it doesnāt make any sense to have an officer work nights inside an abandoned police station. Cops who work that shift are either in the streets or working at an actual working station. I guess this was the best they could do with their premise
Sorry, I used to be a cop

Malum certainly was better written with better production but I wasn't a fan of expanding the Cult to being all over town, with the symbols on telephone poles and walls and stuff and I certainly didn't like the family connection. Last Shift worked best cause it was isolated and she was just a victim of the entity, no Hereditary style link...Last Shift also had more scares, the girls in the mirror, officer Price with the hole in his head, the lockers being open...Also I liked the ending of the original, her killing the hazmat team was better than the suicide.

There seems to be an uncanny valley in horror. Subtlety goes a long way in creating unease. The original Pinhead had an aura of horror, and there was not much gore, just hints of horrific body modification and promises of horror to come. You come at me with a demon covered in gore with his face turned into a starfish that flies around, and you've entered the valley where it loses all horror.

I really admired the clear love and effort behind this, but I still liked the original better. Itās one of my go-to horror movies. The actress who played Jess just resonated with me more in the original, and even with a bigger budget, Malum couldnāt stand up to TLSās scares IMO. The scene where the dead girl crawls out from under the desk and up into Jessā face in the original still freaks me out just thinking about it. I do think the ending was a bit of a mess in the original, but Iām not sure Malum did much to fix it. I always wanted Jessica to survive the night (and not kill all those people), and then we see her grocery shopping or something a few weeks later, and hear a woman next to her humming the girlsā song. That would have been my pitch for an ending. Maybe if they make it a third time!

FoundFlix is, without a doubt, my favorite film recap channel. Iāve tried watching the recap of this movie by someone who did it earlier, couldnāt finish because I was so bored (about the movie, not the presentation). Unfortunately, not even FoundFlix could make me interested in this movie.

The higher budget and improved effects are very noticeable in Malum but I definitely prefer Last Shift. It did a lot with the budget it had, delivered some fantastic suspense and payoffs, and the story had a subtle mystery to it like I really liked. After it ends, you're left to ponder how much of it was supernatural and how much of it was Jess experiencing grief-induced hallucinations.
I'm glad that Malum is closer to the vision the creator always wanted but Last Shift was definitely not a lacklustre film by any means. A lot of its charm and uniqueness stemmed from the limitations they were working with. Think of it like this: the first Silent Hill game had a lot of fog as a means to obscure the abysmally small render distance of the PS1; monsters and buildings would pop into existence in a silly way without the fog obscuring it. That fog is now considered an iconic part of the franchise and it wouldn't have been there if it wasn't for that console limitation.

Last Shift deserved a sequel, it didn't look low budget at all - not so much as that a remake would be better. Also, The Void was an epic film done on a relatively roped in budget that was really good - would they rather remake that take by take or whatever that add to the lore? Surely they'd have more horror fans in seats by doing the latter?

I like the idea of the director having a chance to re-imagine their vision with a bigger budget but I preferred the original. In the original, you didn't know if it was the supernatural, family-imposed delirium brought on by stress & grief OR that damn black mold making you hallucinate! Poor Biotech guys never had a chance.

The thing I never get in these "you're the Dark Lord's chosen vessel" is why doesn't the person realize that means the Dark Lord's minions can't actually kill them? They always scare the person into thinking they're in danger so they do the very reckless things that fulfill the prophecy or what not. But they can't actually kill them. Just call their bluff.
