Starts out good enough. Your average horror film. Decent actors, Ok plot. a little bit of Occulus mixed with Grave encounters and other films.

And then, the ending. Wtf. I can't find any words for it. It is truly horrible. How did they not come up with anything better?

Minor spoilers ahead:

1. They show way (waay) to much. Not a scary ending. 2. Elliot can apparently survive anything.

Fmovies: A simple idea but easily to determine how it's going to end. Good acting but sometimes a bit stiff. Some scenes were gruesome but overall an ok 'ghost' story if you have a spare hour or so to watch it. Nothing to keep you on the edge of your seat.

Just a short review:



The first (jump) scares are good but after that the movie slows down. Acting is okay at worst but the lead actress is cute. The movie starts fine yet slows down when the actual plot starts. The movie has good ideas that failed to execute properly, but still is fine. Don't expect to be scared after the first 30 minutes.



Veredict: Has potential but although not executed properly it's at worst decent to watch. Not much scares. If you like Get Out/ It Follows type of movies, give this a watch.

Malevolent fmovies. It starts off good enough, with a lot of potential, but falls apart on itself. It seems like there was a lot of thought on the set up, but the ending was kind of thrown together as an after thought. I didn't care about any of the characters, any background they tried to give wasn't explained very well. Watch if you have nothing else to watch.

There were moments during this horror flick where I was fully engaged but then found myself struggling to keep interested. The pace is uneven and the dialog stiff and unnatural. A big part of the problem is actor Ben Lloyd-Hughes. Perhaps it's the fault of the filmmakers for making this Brit actor an American caritcature, cartoonish in his immorality, bullying with denim shirt sleeves rolled up like a 50's Kerouac character, but most of the fault likes with the actor himself. Lloyd-Hughes prefers bludgeoning the viewer instead of giving us muted shades. On the other hand, Florence Pugh is a revelation. Whereas Lloyd-Hughes's portrayal lacks subtlety, Pugh is all nuance. Silent through much of the movie, the director lets Pugh's face tell the story. She has a way of barely moving her facial muscles to convey a great deal. At one point early on, a friend asks a newly-haunted Angela if "she's on something." Her reaction perfectly captures that look narcotic drugs can bring to a person; it leaves the viewer with no doubt to her changing state of mind. A wonderful moment. As for the film itself, it avoids many of the genre's repetitious gimmicks, relying on our imagination to fill in the blanks. For that alone, and Pugh's remarkable performance, I enjoyed "Malevolent," despite the lagging moments, weak dialog and Ben Lloyd-Hughes.

Overall a good movie. Good lead actress, she will be a star soon. The plot has holes and there's very little background given on any character. That's the main flaw. Also some scenes could have used better setup and writing.

Given that I gave it an 8. The concept is really really good. The direction and cinematography is good. And again the lead actress is a talent. Watch it. I also like the combo of 80's and the vhs recordings. I think with a bigger budget and better backstory/character development this could have been amazing. Either way worth a watch during Halloween :)
