Malice (15) Dir. Fredrick Wiltord

INTROThe new and upcoming director Fredrick Wiltord has made the latest contribution to the horror genre. His work has been seen in several modern greats such as Saw and The Last Exorcism. This horror obsessed producer started as a coffee boy on the set of Halloween (John Carpenter,1978) of which was issued 5 stars and is seen as an iconic horror film. Fredrick Wiltord’s Malice develops the genre further by combining his knowledge in all areas of the film industry embedding several contemporary worries with Satanism. As well as including macabre, this newest addition to the terrifying genre includes realistic factors such as bullying, an issue at one point in everyone’s childhood with an intertwined devilish vengeance.

PLOT SUMMARYFredrick Wiltord’s unconvential plot begins with an introvert child being bullied in school by the popular group; yes this is the conventional part. The child faces being punched, kicked and laughed at everyday by 3 main perpetrators. The child suffers from so much distress he seeks help, but not from a friend or family. He relies on the technological advancement of the internet. An angry child using the internet to seek revenge isn’t the best of ideas. The child stumbles across a Satanism website where he learns that sinning will gain him respect, fame and fortune. He joins an internet chat with other roguish devil followers, giving him ideas of what to do to gain revenge. A naïve mind of a child is easily persuaded and influenced as he sees the devil as his new father figure. He performs devil rituals and later becomes in an indoctrinated mind state that turns his mind and morals into savagery as he turns into a psycho killer and plots his revenge to kill those that bullied him at a young age. This twisted intertwined plot brings excitement and macabre inducing typical conventions of a horror movie with jumpy, fast paced scenes with gruesome shots. This film will not disappoint. A perfect introductory film for Fredrick Wiltord with Malice (2011). Out on the 4th December.

DIALOGUE/DIRECTION/CASTING/ACTORS PERFORMANCESWith a flawless original storyline this film was destined to be a modern great. Unfortunately there are many faults with some of the cheesy performances from these inexperienced actors. The dialogue suited those actors of a high status, not a young Brad Pitt impersonator suited for a low budget action film. The direction and casting was once again flawless but actors just didn’t seem to suit their roles apart from the killer. The “killer” Perry Rowe displayed excellent acting and will have a very promising future in the film industry if he continues with such jaw dropping performances. His presence and “stage movement” mimics those with years and years of experience, maybe due to the director or just a common show of pure talent. The lighting, locations, costume and props were all very up-to-date and runs parallel with modern greats.
