Most who are obsessive fans of horror movies know that Malum is something of a reimagining of the same director's last movie Last Shift, which was already promising but suffered from low budget flaws here and there. It's a little worrisome and egocentric to think of a director redoing his own movie but now we have Malum.
Seeing this makes me wonder why more directors are giving their promising but ultimately lackluster movies another go if they have the resources. Great soundtrack, production value, and neverending terror make this a huge step up from Last Shift. It's brutal and scary and a real treat for horror fans everywhere.
If you haven't decided if this story is worth revisiting, cast doubt aside and give Malum a watch. Best horror movie I've seen in a LONG time.

I've seen the good reviews for this one and I've seen the bad reviews. I think they all have merit for one reason or another.
For me, Titane fell right in the middle. It wasn't amazing and it wasn't bad either. It had its moments and it had its weaknesses but it was nowhere near the level of artistic achievement that was Julia Ducournau's previous film Raw.
Swell performances with cinematography that made for great eye candy and a pounding score not likely to be forgotten.
The ending really drove it in and made the first half worth it, I just wish that what came before had more to do with the story instead of just relying on the shock factor.
Not for everybody but likely everything for some. I won't soon forget Titane but I doubt I'd watch it again.

The western/horror genre probably isn't utilized as often as it should be and when it is it's rare that it delivers anything worthwhile. That is not the case with The Pale Door by writer/director Aaron B. Koontz.
The film does leave a little to be desired when it's over but that doesn't stop it from being an entertaining thrill ride, especially when you consider the limited locations available to spread it out and make that interest easily maintainable. I think this movie shows a director with real promise in the future. There's a handful of good scares and the performances are great.
Ultimately, this probably won't go down in history as a classic but it's very much worth the watch.
