"Malevolence"

Just watched it.
For an independent film...the budget looked much bigger than I expected.
Any thoughts on this one?
I liked this one,although reviews across the board pretty much panned it.
What did you guys think of it?

"Malevolence" can be purchased at Wal Mart or rented at Blockbuster.
The plot:bank robbery goes wrong and robbers hole up in a house that a serial killer/child abducter once resided in...or does he still?
I enjoyed the hell out of it,even tho its nothing real new or grounbreaking in the slasher genre.
Shot on a budget of 100,000 it looks incredible,good acting,lighting,sound,I even liked the music.
It has been called both an homage and a rip off of films like Halloween and Friday the 13th.
View it as a stand alone film,and I think you may like it too.
DvD does contain some decent extras as well.

The story is quite similar to that of Dead Birds if you look at the whole bank robbers go to an old house that they think is abandoned aspect of it. I've watched about 30 minutes of it so far.

i thought it was ok. but just that...ok. i personally thought there should have been a little more nudity in it since the girls were so hot. but that's just me. i heard the director speak on this film and it kind of turned me off. he claimed to not be a fan of horror. he made this by the numbers movie just to get his foot in the door as a director.

Nudity is always good...I hadnt heard the director say that before.
Way I heard it,he is a huge Horror fan and this film was the middle story of a trilogy.
Do you know where you saw or heard Stevan Menas comment from?
I would be interested in reading it.
Sucks if he really did say that.
I would be comfortable being labeled a Horror director...Dont know why so many dont want to be associated with Horror.
