Maléfique

Maléfique (2002)
Dir: Eric Valette

Four prisoners find an ancient journal about black magic hidden in their cell.
Bizarre French horror film that starts well enough but doesn't have a story to match its premise. There are a number of random scenes that don't seem to make sense or have any bearing on the plot and it's not nearly as clever as it thinks it is. A shallow effort that could have been so much more.
