Are you prepared to take the last shift in Malum, the first original production from the new genre studio Welcome Villain Films?
Then brace for Hell: the new trailer is here, bringing cults, demons, and a whole lot of blood with it.
Malum is set to unleash Hell in theaters on March 31, 2023.
Directed by director Anthony DiBlasi (Last Shift, Dread, Extremity) and co-written by DiBlasi and Scott Poiley (Last Shift, Missionary, Exhume), the same creative team behind 2014’s Last Shift, Malum reimagines the original critically-acclaimed horror hit. It expands the filmmaker’s vision of nightmare-inducing terror and, judging by the trailer, massively expands the mythology.
The official plot: “Malum is a bold and expanded reimagining of the 2014 horror cult classic, LAST SHIFT. On a search to uncover the mysterious circumstances surrounding her father’s death, a newly appointed police officer, Jessica Loren, is assigned to the last shift in a decommissioned police station where a notoriously vicious cult saw their demise years prior. The lone officer at the station, she soon finds herself barraged by terrifying paranormal events and, in the process, is taken on a journey during which she learns the shocking truth behind her family’s entanglement with a demented cult leader. MALUM takes the premise of the 2014 festival hit and flips it on its head, thrusting viewers into an unrelenting, adrenaline-fueled, bloody cult nightmare.”
Malum stars Jessica Sula (Skins, Split, Godless, Panic) and was shot on location in a recently abandoned prison in downtown Louisville, Kentucky. The cast also includes Candice Coke (Kevin Can F**K Himself), Chaney Morrow (Haunt), Clarke Wolfe (Satanic Panic, Torn Hearts), Morgan Lennon (Something From Tiffany’s), Valerie Loo (American Horror Stories), Monroe Cline (Don’t Worry Darling), Eric Olson (Raising Helen), Sam Brooks (Fear Street: Part Two – 1978), Kevin Wayne (The Outsider), Danielle Coyne (Bad Apples), Natalie Victoria (Dead Heads), Christopher Matthew Spencer (Snowfall, Winning Time) and Britt George (True Blood).
The film features special effects make-up from the team at RussellFX (Hellraiser, The Ritual, The Night House). Malum is produced by Scott Poiley and Welcome Villain Films’ Head of Production Dan Clifton and executive produced by Mary Poiley, Welcome Villain Films co-founders Luke LaBeau, Head of Development, Eric Kleifield, Head of Creative, Bonner Bellew, Head of Operations and Justin Brown of Bespoke Production Capital.
