I must admit that I had initially expected a bit more from "Kill Katie Malone" than what actually was presented on the screen. The DVD movie that I acquired was titled "The Haunting of Katie Malone", not "Kill Katie Malone", so needless to say that I had expected more in the ghost and haunting department.
"Kill Katie Malone" turned out to be a late teenage horror movie laced with elements of supernatural horror in form of an apparition. Was it scary? Far from it. Was it entertaining? Mildly so.
I don't really understand why Dean Cain was brandished as headlining on the movie cover, because he was in the movie less than 5 minutes. Sure, I know that it was because he was the most famous of all the cast in the movie, but it was so wrongfully a means of luring people in.
The story in "Kill Katie Malone" was a mediocre storyline which really didn't make much sense. It is about an ancient box which contains the malevolent spirit of Katie Malone. Anyone who buys the box will own her spirit and can set her free, but always with a deadly result. Once freed of captivity in the box, the owner can only part with the malevolent spirit by selling the box to someone else.
There were aspects of the story that were fair and interesting enough, but the overall picture was one of being less than mediocre. So don't get your hopes up for this movie.
The acting in the movie was adequate though, despite the fact that the actors and actresses were struggling with an inadequate storyline and script.
For a horror movie, then "Kill Katie Malone" was frightfully devoid of anything scary or capable of making you jump in your seat. So that was an anchor around the movie.
"Kill Katie Malone" was hardly a memorable movie in any sense, and it wasn't one that left any lasting impression in the horror genre.
