This is the safest method. On your Android 4.4.4 device, open the app and search for "VLC for Android" . Before you tap the "Install" button, check the list of permissions it requests (like access to storage) to ensure the app is legitimate. However, be aware that the Play Store might show you a newer version that is incompatible with KitKat. If it says "Your device isn't compatible with this version," proceed to the next method.
