After Halloween, there were 5,000 rip offs and not many of them came close to the brilliance of that film, but Malevolence finally gets the homage right and also manages to do its own thing and stand out on its own.
A group of bank robbers hold a mother and daughter hostage, steal their car, and hide out at a seemingly abandoned farmhouse that's inhabited by psychotic killer with a fetish for Jason in Friday the 13th Part 2.
With its droning synths, silent killer, lack of blood and guts, and creepy blue moonlight, Malevolence channels the original Halloween the best it can while also borrowing from a few of the Friday the 13th and Texas Chainsaw Massacre movies.
The characters aren't always the most defined or interesting, but there's more suspense and scares than expected, especially in this kind of movie.
