Four prisoners in a cell - Carrere, Marcus, Daisy and Lassalle. Behind a stone slab in the cell, mysteriously pulled loose, they discover a book: the diary of a prisoner, Danvers who occupied the cell at the turn of the century. The diary contains magic formulas that supposedly enabled the prisoner to escape... A horror film in the purest sense, Malefique doesn't pretend to be a psychological thriller, nor does it temper its threat with comedy or faux scares. With an air thick with 'forbidden knowledge', and 'un-nameable horrors,' this is a gloomy, atmospheric, and bloody film that builds slowly, never letting go until the incredible finale. Malefique will grab you by the lapels and hold you in its strong, uncompromising grip from the first frame to the last.
