What's up with the peeps giving bad reviews. This film had the jumps gore and storyline.

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.

I wanted this to be good because the story seemed to be right up my alley when it comes to ghost movies, but it failed. Not scary at all, just a bit bloody at the end. True ghost movie lovers will be disappointed because it could have been so much better.

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.

This movie was actually okay, but not very scary. I love a great backstory which this movie does not provide, this is more of a gore type of movie. This movie left me with alot of questions and thoughts. Spoilers ahead :) 1. I was hoping for a flashback type of thing to actually see what happened to the girls 2. Same thing with the mother, what exactly did she see that made her kill herself? 3. Where was Mrs.Green's son (Herman) the whole while when they were going through the house, I suspect he was in the east wing somewhere based on Mrs.Green's reaction when they headed that way. 4. The girls ghosts still had scars and such, but when we saw Jackson's ghost he wasn't beaten up at all. Did he pass peacefully? How? What was the whole thing with the shed about, how could he pass peacefully if murdered like this?? 5. How the actual heck did Elliot survive all of that?? First he breaks his ankle, then the car crash, then he gets hit with a shovel, crawls his way back to the house, gets hit by whatever object Mrs Green was holding, and in the end he was still alive? The movie wasn't all that slow if i'm being honest and I enjoy that but I would really like to know more of the backstory!

I am not sure why people gave this a bad rating but the concept is awesome. It had a great ending and left you screaming for justice in certain areas and asking for help from the ghosts. It was frustrating at times, but all horrors have that; why didn't they do this??? Enjoy

Malevolent is a British made Netflix original horror title starring Florence Pugh and is more than a little of a let down. It tells the story of a brother and sister who run a sham medium racket where they pretend to exorcise houses of spirits but come across something real. It's been done before but it started promisingly enough, Pugh is a fantastic little actress who I hope goes far, veteran Celia Imrie is on point, the soundtrack/atmosphere works wonders and they even manage to get James Cosmo in for a cameo appearance. The stars were aligned for this to be a great little film but sadly the creators decided to take the Hollywood horror route of cliches, genericism and lack of originality. It became apparent about half way through that this was going in direction I'd seen too many times before and I was sadly correct. Malevolent isn't bad it's just exactly the same as hundreds that have come before it. The Good: Great soundtrack Florence Pugh The Bad: Mostly recycled Questions left unanswered Things I Learnt From This Movie: Horror as a whole needs a reboot
