	Media	Author	Review
		Tyler Doupe Dread Central	"It is chilling, surreal, and serves up gruesome gore effects (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"
		Alex Maidy JoBlo	"'Malum' is awash in creeps and horrors. It may not be the most original or unique horror movie of the year, but it is a step above most of what is out there"
		Matt Zoller Seitz rogerebert.com	"A low-budget horror movie where the filmmaking is the star (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
		Richard Whittaker Austin Chronicle	"'Malum' has enough budget to be too glossy to be gutter fun, and adds little visually much beyond some very mediocre practical effects, often feeling that its ambitions outstripped its grasp (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Karina Adelgaard Heaven of Horror	"It will seem very familiar to anyone who’s watched 'Last Shift'. And with good reason as this is the same filmmaker creating a reimagined remake of his own movie. And yes, you should watch it (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Matt Donato Paste Magazine	"[It] is more of the same – for better and worse"
		Meagan Navarro Bloody Disgusting	"The new mythology, more impressive set pieces, and gnarly practical effects impress. Infectious performances ground it (...) [It] ensures a haunting night at a police station worth booking (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"
		Phil Hoad The Guardian	"[DiBlasi] doesn't have much sense of how to parse this hackneyed occult screed into sequences with any true tension (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Jon Mendelsohn CBR	"[It] is a modern horror film that knows how to be genuinely scary, creating some of the most frightening sequences of the year"
