Malibu Horror Story follows a team of amateur paranormal investigators as they delve into a 10 year old unresolved case, the disappearance of four popular high school boys on graduation night. While exploring a sacred cave in the hills of Malibu California, the team encounters chilling paranormal occurrences. As they analyze footage from the missing teens' camera, they make a terrifying discovery involving an ancient curse which forces them to confront their own worst fears and unravel the sinister truth behind the boys' vanishing.

The bedrock of Scott Slone’s Malibu Horror Story is sturdy, and its concept unique, yet the film’s back-and-forth execution leaves consistency to be desired.

Rated: 6/10

A mild mishmash of form and structure doesn't cover up the simple fact that Malibu Horror Story is a shallow and mostly formulaic scare machine.

Rated: 2/4

Palpably scary and creepy, but low on surprises and imagination.

Has a lot of fun playing with the notion of a found footage film.

A poor title obscures the sparks of greatness hidden within Malibu Horror Story. A modern rearrangement of found footage, Malibu Horror Story is an entertaining medley of stylised true crime show and found footage horror.

Rated: 3/5

I had seen an early, perhaps unfinished stream of this film in January 2021 and liked it then well enough to see it in theatre. I'm glad I did! The film is very well done all around - plot, pace, acting cinematography etc.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Not without its flaws, but this movie is a fun take on the found footage genre with a lot of good scares.

More jump scares than I’ve had in a very long time! It was awful in the best way. The next generation Blair Witch Project.

Once the scary parts kicked in it was a good ride. Exceptional visuals for a lower budget film. Good for a matinee or on home tv, as I'm used to 2 hour movies now and it's not that. The actors did a great job. No flaws in my book except length.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this movie. Did not think I was going to like this type of horror, but this was very scary and definitely one of the better horror movies I have seen in recent years. Would definitely recommend!
