Fangoria has learned, via interview, that the prequel (and first part of the intended trilogy) to ‘Malevolence’ is near finished, after a long delay.

Here’s the details from director Stevan Mena…

The film is in final post-production, so we’re just working on the final touches of the sound mix.

Mevan also went on to explain the delay.

There’s a tremendous amount of plot that I’m trying to get into a two-hour movie, so certain things couldn’t make it in and it was a long process for me to decide what should and shouldn’t be in the final picture. The initial cut was about three hours long, so it has been a laborious process to kind of kill my babies and figure out what the final film’s gonna be. It has taken me a while to really get my head wrapped around that, and now I’ve finally done it.

Malevolence: Bereavement features a cast that includes Michael Biehn (’Aliens’, ‘Terminator’), John Savage (’Carnivale’), Brett Rickaby, Alexandra Daddario, Spencer List, Jennifer Blanc and Kathryn Meisle.
