“Malibu Horror Story” (**1/2 out of four) was a proficiently done horror thriller about a team of paranormal investigators (Dylan Sprayberry, Robert Bailey Jr., and others) who search a sacred cave for clues in an unsolved case involving the disappearance of four Malibu teens but soon find that evil and terror awaits. One of the better found-footage horror genre movies, with some considerable tension and scares and nail-biting suspense along the way. Too minimalist and familiar overall but still much better than most of its kind. Some scenes are a direct homage to “The Blair Witch Project” which started this genre nearly 25 years ago.
