As the franchise progressed, Jason's strength and near indestructibility made him one of the most powerful slashers🧾 in cinema, except for one unusual weakness -- water. For the majority of the Friday the 13th franchise, Jason had🧾 almost no weaknesses. However, later films chose to give him a crippling fear of water.

At the climax of the🧾 story, Jason battles his nemesis Tommy Jarvis and his great-niece Stephanie Kimble; Stephanie impales him before Tommy decapitates him with🧾 a shard of glass. Jason's soul is then absorbed by Freddy, who uses it to increase his own power.

While LAST SHIFT thrived on dead space and longer sequences of tension-building, MALUM cuts right to the💱 point, over-explaining and muddling up plot points that worked best when left ominous and implied. While it is no masterpiece,💱 LAST SHIFT is effectively scary.

So, to answer your question, you might enjoy Malum more if you💱 don't watch Last Shift before, but you might enjoy Last Shift less if you watch Malum first.
