Yesterday, we brought you a first look at the official Malum poster and release date announcement. Today, Welcome Villain shares the first trailer for their upcoming paranormal horror. This is being described as “a bold and expanded reimagining” of Di Blasi’s 2014 Last Shift. This new take is written by Anthony DiBlasi, Scott Poiley and directed by Di Blasi. Welcome Villian Films is bringing their reimagining to theaters later this month. Here’s the official synopsis.
On a search to uncover the mysterious circumstances surrounding her father’s death, a newly appointed police officer, Jessica Loren (Jessica Sula) 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.
Cults and mysterious deaths!? You have our attention. Let’s take a look at the trailer.
Whoa! Fans of Last Shift may recognize a familiar setup and even a familiar line or two, “calls are being rerouted to the new station,” but notably, the trailer features taking a lot of the action out of the station. Like Last Shift updated, reimagined, and on bloody steroids. That is to say, this looks fun as hell and we can’t wait to see it in theaters March 31.
