Siblings Jackson and Angela run a profitable ghostbusting racket; swindling the bereaved with fake detection equipment and Angela's paranormal 'visions'. Hired to investigate a haunted old foster home, the team uncover its terrifying past: young girls brutally slaughtered, mouths stitched shut; silenced by a sadistic killer. And Angela's on the edge - sleepless, strung out and losing her mind, no longer certain what's actually real; convinced she hears the girls crying out to her from the darkness... But supernatural terrors are the least of their problems when they discover the very real evil lurking in the isolated house.
Leave your thoughts about Malevolent.
| RogerEbert.comBrian TallericoMalevolent is far from perfect — it kind of sabotages a solid first hour with a clunky, tone-changing climax more likely to leave you queasy than scared — but it’s still better than A) a lot of theatrically-released horror films and B) a lot of Netflix original films. |
| IGNKenneth Seward Jr.The last thing a filmmaker wants to hear about their horror movie is that it was boring. Unfortunately, that word best describes Malevolent. Void of scares, its few engaging moments early on – and Celia Imrie’s acting – just aren’t enough to help Malevolent rise above its stilted performances and nonthreatening ghosts. |
| User ReviewDavrosdaleks1Malevolent, which just premiered on Netflix, is about a phony ghost-hunting crew in the '80s who encounter a real haunted house. I'm seeing a lot of negative reviews for this. Thought it wasn't half bad myself. Sure, it doesn't really do anything new and the story and direction is average, emphasis on AVERAGE. This is a competent film, and I was entertained enough for the running time. The cast is game and sells this. Also, there are a couple of interesting song choices that did catch me by surprise and added to the creepiness. |
| User Reviewjohnbobs1This is a film which perhaps sometimes gets some unfair ratings by reviews. Elements of it are certainly solid and we'll done. The acting is strong throughout and I liked the characters. The atmosphere is creepy and the film beautifully shot at times. For the most part, the storyline works too, though weakens as the film goes on before falling down somewhat at the end: Dragging the film down to being a bit of a regular unimaginative supernatural gore fest in the last half hour. Overall, creepy at times and worth a watch, but nothing outstanding. |
| User ReviewRtheomThis was definitely a "first acting gig" for the folks in this movie, but I was mostly willing to forgive that if the movie ended up being interesting. And it was up until the end when it suddenly had the characters acting nonsensically and sometimes just plain stupid for the sake of a standard horror movie ending. In the end, it was mostly just bland. |
| User ReviewJonabYikes. Bad acting, nonsensical, often comically absurd plot. Stay far away. |
| User ReviewJLauGroup running a medium scam run into problems when the woman who is genuinely getting haunted by dead orphans is doing so because she was the one who killed them. |
| User ReviewWakeNarrativePhony film with Phony Ghostbusters: Angela and Jackson, the story of two sibling scammers running a "fake" paranormal removal business from supposedly haunted houses. Their mother possessed the gift of seeing supernatural beings, before scratching her own eyes out. The sibling duo would never think that this power would be passed down to them, until Angela starts seeing visions that keep her up at night. The team of "ghost hunters" begins their normal process at an old foster home or orphanage (thanks IMDB for that piece of knowledge, the movie failed to mention this or if it did we both missed this piece altogether), said to be haunted by young girls who were tortured and had their mouths sewn shut. Angela starts to see these creepy girls. Queue the creepy twins from the Shining. The cinematography was decent, but the filmed lacked a stable plotline. Did this crazy orphanage lady really torture and kill children over the years because they wouldn't stop screaming? Was that before or after the torture? There were more questions than answers and some obvious parts of the story that were missing. The only redeeming factor that this film held was that it actually made us flinch a few times. The torture scenes were graphic and made our lips quiver. Best Seamstress: Old Lady Susie - sewing mouths of humans since the beginning of time (by the looks of those wrinkles) Best Smile: No one - can you even smile with your mouth sewn shut? Most drawn out near death - Elliot, man you lasted way longer than expected, kudos. |
