Malefica (2018)
From filmmaker Alexander Paspa comes the science fiction horror Short Film "Malefica". The film is based off a Man's battle with opioid addiction and is dedicated to all those who have passed.

The Film is set in 2020, where the world has continued to destroy itself with war, drugs and chaos. The one responsible is a demonic Witch known as "Malefica". She is an ancient evil that has fed off the destruction of the human race for many centuries. A shadow organization formed during the European Witch-craze in the early 14th century known as the "Malleus Maleficarum" has dedicated their lives to hunting demons and witches. They have been tracking down Malefica for centuries but their attempts at hunting her down have been fatal. One huntsman code named "Witch Hammer" is willing to risk it all in these troubled times to destroy the most powerful demonic force in human history. However, this time is different because he found a secret weapon, A weapon that can kill anything.

    Atmospheric and loaded with potential
    I kept seeing this pop up on my Amazon prime recommended and I gave in eventuality after reading the blurb.

    I would say the story/background/set-up is actually incredibly good, the lore feels to me almost Alien-esque. The cinematography is very good and crisp and the general feel of the film is almost a crossover between Blair Witch/The ritual.

    The story is really good and loaded with potential. I would say the final 5 mins are a little disappointing but the ideas and atmosphere built up prior are really good. If you've seen A Dark Song you'll understand what I mean.

    It teases a sequel that I would absolutely love to see as the film is in essence a stripped down raw western with supernatural elements.

    The acting is solid if a little overdone at times but I think that may be the fault of the dialogue but it serves it's purpose - I feel like it could've done with a little more nuance.

    I would recommend this film for watching though as the idea and the execution are both intriguing and it doesn't spoon feed too much.
