User Reviews
"Malevolence" owes a lot to other films. It pays homage to "Halloween", Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and "Friday the 13th" with a little dash of "Psycho" for good measure. This time around when a bank robbery goes sour the crooks are forced to break up and meet at a predetermined location. Unfortunately a silent madman is on the loose that chases a hostage, her daughter and the criminals around a spooky abandoned slaughter house in the sticks.
Sounds familiar doesn't it. All the tried and true "slasher" clichés are here but are done well. As I was watching I kept seeing the grabs but they really worked. The photography was excellent. I can't remember a better shot "slasher" since maybe the original "Halloween". The music was very nice and recalled the best parts and usage of John Carpenter's "Halloween" score. The acting is perfectly fine with no major complaints and as with the case of most "slashers" character development was a bare minimum. However the only flaw the film suffers from is that the editing keeps it a bit slow in the beginning. A good Dr. Loomis-like character would have helped that out. Highly recommend for fans of the classic "slashers".
