I enjoyed <I>Last Shift</I>, so when I learned that <I>Malum</I> is an "<A HREF="https://www.dreadcentral.com/news/448968/terrifying-new-malum-poster-asks-you-to-feed-the-demon/">expanded reimagining</A>" of that film, I knew I had to watch this (although way too long after its initial release date).
So, yeah, that was good. I enjoyed the story, setting (again), and characters. I can't believe it took me this long to watch it considering my love for <I>Last Shift</I>, which I regret, but check it out if you haven't done so (don't wait around like me).

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A relentless descent into occult horror anchored by personal trauma, where a cop's search for answers about her father becomes entanglement with something far darker. The film locks you in a claustrophobic space where reality fractures and cult mythology becomes inescapable.
