Review of Malefique

Malefique (2002)
7/10
Small budget done really well.

See, you see, you modern films that need big budgets, big actors, great directors and so on!

This one relies on atmosphere alone, 4 main actors, if not 3, one dark room, one Evil Dead like book and that is it! It was quite a different experience, with plenty of disturbing moments, a lot of guessing going on and one excellent conclussion. If you look at the budget, it's quite small, so how did they do it?

Well if you want to make a horror and not a blockbuster, if finances aren't coming, you do what all great such directors did before, like Raimi, Romero, Carpenter...you make the most of what you got!

And boy did this movie deliver, with everything it had! Truly a bizzare production that always felt fresh and original, thus I highly recommend it.

Malefique is a great add on to the genre and it deserves a lot more recognition.

Cheers!
