Malevolence

About This Movie

So, 'Malevolence' (2024) really dives into this dark and oppressive atmosphere. The film revolves around Sam Rivers, a character who's been stripped of everything—his family, his friends—leaving him in this void of despair. The pacing feels deliberate, almost suffocating at times, which adds to the mystery. You can't help but feel for Sam as he unravels the twisted threads of his past. There's a rawness to the performances that makes the horror hit harder, and the practical effects? They're gritty and unsettling without the over-reliance on CGI. This film seems to grasp that less can be more, especially in horror. It’s not just about the scares; it’s about loss and vengeance, which gives it a certain weight that's hard to shake off.
