Malevolent (2018) N
Brother and sister are running a scam business that helps people getting rid off the ghosts. When an elderly woman asks them to help with the noisy ghosts of three little girls who her son allegedly murdered they assume it's just another gig. Things start to go wrong when the siblings are actually seeing the girls.
Three tickets for Marilyn Manson show, please.
Malevolent is run-of-the-mill ghost film with extremely predictable twist. It's doesn't manage to build any kind of suspense and resorts to couple of weak jump scares. Directing and cinematography feels weak and it fails to utilize the large old house at all. Ghosts don't feel like ghosts either but more like jailbait Marilyn Manson groupies.
Characters are actually above average for a B-horror. They're not particularly likable but they at least feel remotely human. Acting is also decent for a film like this. Budget restraints are clearly visible and I'm pretty sure that some of the violence happens offscreen due to lack of money. Not a complete turd but something the world could easily have lived without.
