Go inside the cinematographer’s mind on the latest horror film, Malum.
In today’s cutthroat film market, when a movie becomes a commercial and critical hit, the conversation quickly goes to ways of expanding the IP. In the last few years, this seems to be happening the most in the horror world, a few examples being: Scream, Halloween, SAW, Resident Evil, and The Conjuring.
Another title worth mentioning is director Anthony DiBlasi’s Last Shift, which has become a genre favorite for many because of its slow burn and epic finale.
In 2014, when Last Shift was being made, DiBlasi didn’t have a huge budget, so some ideas were left on the table, creatively. Although it was made with the intention of a theatrical release, it never made it to the silver screen in the United States. So when DiBlasi met Luke LeBeau, who was starting the horror distribution company, Welcome Villain Films, the idea of reimaging Last Shift quickly became a reality.
