2.5/4
It's not going to be anyone's favorite new horror film this holiday season, but it's a solid enough start to the month when temperatures drop and it becomes cooler to tell ghost stories. Go to Full Review

TWO STARS
"Malevolent" is based on the novel "Hush" by Konstantopoulos, although you'd never guess that this lightweight ghost story/slasher pic was based on novelistic source material. Go to Full Review

4/5
Jackson and his reluctant sister Angela offer a fake ghostbusting service to "cleanse" the homes of gullible Scots. But when Angela starts to see and hear things, is she losing it, or are there really ghosts? And if there are, what could they want? Go to Full Review

While the premise of Malevolent might not be all that different than other general haunted house films, it still pulls you in as a viewer. Go to Full Review

Regan M. @reganlikesbugs222 Feb 13 It was okay, but really not great. The only reason I really watched this movie was because of Florence Pugh. She did great acting in this movie but the plot just sucked. I feel like there wasn’t enough background to anything. It’s just young adults faking talking to the dead and then going into a murders house. I feel like the directors changed their minds every two seconds about what they wanted their movie to be so everything was a jumbled mess. Unfortunately would not recommend. :( See more Cole M. @colemcq Feb 13 There was a decent story it was just poorly told, Florence did a great job with what she was given as her performance was the only thing somewhat saving the film for me. To summarize it: The movie was pretty basic, slow and the characters mostly felt unimportant besides our main girl. Honestly going to give it a 2.5 out of 5 , I would probably give a 3 out of 5 but considering I had to get significantly hammered to have a better time watching the movie I’d say that should drop a half star. Also everyone giving one star is dumb. The movie wasn’t great but it’s not nearly as bad as half the other terrible movies with a sub 20% on RT See more Jig S Dec 11 By the end of it you can tell there's actually a decent story in there. It's just that it was so poorly told. Blaming the director for this one not getting a better score. See more Pinoy Short R @emill_santos Nov 10 Sayang oras. Baguhan pa lang si Florence Pugh dito e alam mo na may potential talaga sya.. Napaka typical na horror at kulang sa jump scares See more Sean M @orangecat Oct 23 Why do they always fail to fully subdue the villain before turning their back on them?
