Watch Maléfique For Free

Very Cool!!!

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

If Maléfique is to believed, the French penal system is in need of some serious reform, the prison in this film seeing four men confined to a single, filthy, rat-infested cell, with white collar criminals forced to live alongside convicted murderers, sexual deviants and the criminally insane. Businessman Carrère (Gérald Laroche), whose wife has framed him for fraud, finds himself sharing with three such cell-mates: body-building transsexual Marcus (Clovis Cornillac), wife-murderer Lasalle (Philippe Laudenbach) and compulsive eater and all-round nut-job Pâquerette (Dimitri Rataud), who consumed his baby sister. When this unlikely collection of characters find an old journal hidden behind a loose brick in the cell wall, and read the strange supernatural phrases contained within, they discover a possible means of escape—but at what cost?Thematically, Maléfique borrows heavily from the Evil Dead series, Clive Barker's Hellraiser movies and the world of H.P. Lovecraft, with just a touch of Vincent Natali's cult sci-fi Cube for good measure; but although many elements will undoubtedly seem rather familiar to avid horror fans, the actual execution is about as original as it gets, director Eric Valette delivering arresting imagery, unpredictable WTF moments, and inventive special effects guaranteed to dumbfound, disgust and delight fans of the twisted and bizarre. While I can't say that I found this film as impeccable as many seem to have—I struggle with the basic set-up in which a non-violent criminal is incarcerated with the criminally insane—I have to admire the movie for going the extra mile to continually surprise the viewer.

Four men want to bust out of jail – with the help of a little black magic.French horrors have been quite riveting the fast five or so years. Although this movie may not fit in with the disturbing MARTYRS and INSIDE, this fantasy delivers a quality story with a wonderful group of eclectic characters.Alexandre Charlot and Franck Magnier bring together a tight script with idiosyncratic characters to keep the audience on their toes. Stylishly directed by Eric Valett, with exceptional cinematography by Jean-Marc Bouzou (who makes us all feel like we're the fifth prisoner), we are taken on an intriguing ride. And it's such a great trip we forget that the movie is four talking heads in a French jail cell.This fast-paced mystery is sure to attract more fans around the globe with its ensnaring tone, excellent dialogue and stellar cast.

Now this is what I'd call a good horror. With occult/supernatural undertones, this nice low-budget French movie caught my attention from the very first scene. This proves you don't need wild FX or lots of gore to make an effective horror movie.The plot revolves around 4 cellmates in a prison, and each of these characters (and their motives) become gradually more interesting, as the movie builds up tension to the finale. Most of the action we see through the eyes of Carrere, who has just entered prison and has to get used to living with these 3 other inmates.I won't say much because this movie really deserves to be more widely seen. There a few flaws though: the FX are not that good, but they're used effectively; the plot leaves some mysteries open; and things get very confusing towards the end, but Malefique redeems itself by the time it's over.I thought his was a very good movie, 8/10

I was hooked from beginning to end. Great horror comes from disturbing imagery and organic shocks that are created not to make you jump, but to make you go "What the f*ck did I just see?" All the other commentators gave short summaries of what the film is about, so I won't rehash what has already been said. I was telling other people about this movie days after I had seen it just because it still haunted me. I even had a bad dream after seeing it, and I am a true horror fan, not easily spooked by tripe like "The Grudge" or even "Silent Hill". What gave me the bad dreams was the unease I felt about what I would do if I were in that cell with those guys. What would my personal horror be? my subconscious took me there, and it was not pleasant. That my friends is what a good horror flick does to you! The best part of this movie is that it is subtle. It's not about Bogeymen that jump out at you,alien invasions, or tons of gore. It's the opposite. The horror you create in your own mind. The irony for the four characters is that the horror comes not from an external force that asserts it's power over them. Simply, the men ask for the one thing they desire, and they get it...but not in the way they imagined. So on the one hand, they get what they wish for from an occult book, but may ultimately wish they hadn't. Sometimes being locked in a jail cell is the best place to be!
