Malevolent

About This Movie

Malevolent (2018) dives into the murky waters of deception with its brother-sister duo faking paranormal events. The atmosphere is thick, really pulls you in, especially in that creepy estate. There’s this unsettling tension that builds nicely, with a sense of dread creeping in as the story unfolds. The practical effects have a rawness that really sells the horror, and the performances, while not groundbreaking, feel genuine and grounded in their desperation. It's interesting how it plays with themes of greed and the consequences of playing with forces beyond comprehension. Not the usual jump scares—more of a slow burn that ultimately leads to a pretty intense climax. Definitely has a distinctive vibe that sets it apart from other entries in the genre.
