60Eventually pic turns into a formula slasher over-indebted to the usual "Texas Chainsaw" and "Halloween" models. But until then, Mena's direction (if not his script) suggest he's ready for bigger-budget assignments.
-
60Stevan Mena nonetheless is adept at creating images that disturb and disgust on levels most horror filmmakers can only dream of.
-
A low-budget American horror film that's already established itself as a fan favourite, Malevolence flaunts all the trappings of an old-school slasher flick.
-
The acting and dialogue is as silly as the potato sack the killer wears on his head.
