Oct 5, 2018 · “Malevolent” starts with a great deal of promise and effective filmmaking, anchored by an excellent performance by the clearly-a-future-star Pugh. The set-up is a familiar one (and an odd cousin of another movie I reviewed this week, “ A Crooked Somebody ” if you think about it).

Oct 5, 2018 · Malevolent is an unusual beast: it was made in the USA, filmed in Glasgow, directed by a man from Iceland; it stars just a couple of moderately famous faces and is the best Netflix Original horror film I’ve seen. Honestly, I’d rather put this laptop down and go watch it again.

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.
Solid horror movie; some gore, violence, scary imagery. Read Common Sense Media's Malevolent review, age rating, and parents guide.
