have to see this co it look like a great scary premise prisoner find magic book and oo err . claustrophobic terror ensues and etc . but there do not seem to be a story to go along with the great idea . rather than chill or physcological horror and it rely on effect out in the open fire and ott body horror and which do not scare at all if your over 12. the logic at the end be ridiculous and with character be kill off for nothing other than bodycount . waste of good character which be the best thing about this film . obviously low budget and which doesn not spoil it and the film really go nowhere and and icant believe im go to say this it need a hollywood remake . you simply loose interest in this version . definitely not in the same league a other french film come out in the last few year like crimson river which be at least watchable or entertaining and malefique isn not watchable to the end to be honest . and i bet you can guess the end before you have watch the film . really really disappointing impossible to recommend .
