According to IMDB.com, this story is the 2nd part of a trilogy, which makes me excited for part 1 to show up soon (Entitled "Bereavement", it's in post-production as of this writing.)
Malevolence begins 20 years after the kidnapping of a young boy by a serial killer. The killer takes the child to the basement of an abandoned slaughter house (which is right next door to the killer's own home - go figure.) The killer teaches the boy how to be a vicious murderer...and the film jumps forward 20 years.
A quartet of out-of-luck-and-work schmucks try to rob a bank. One gets shot, and they spread to the four winds to avoid being caught, with plans to meet at "a place out in the middle of nowhere" in order to divvy up the dough. Umm, bet you'll never guess where this "place" is. Oh, darn! You figured it out?
Anyway, a serial killer who appears to live there begins to stalk them. Guess who is under the mask! Gee, good guess!
Will someone explain to me why serial killers go after their victims like they're swimming through waist-deep mud, while the victims are running faster than Olympic sprinters? And why is it a normal person can get shot, knifed, and clubbed, and DIE, yet it's a mere flesh wound for killers? It makes you wonder if there's a Michael Myers Survival School for Deranged Killers.
This movie is cliched and predictable. The acting is so-so, and the gore effects aren't worth mentioning. However, the premise of part 1, how the original killer turned an innocent young boy into his protege, looks a lot more promising.
In the meantime, when it comes to part 2,
