MA NOTE

Siblings Jackson and Angela run a profitable ghostbusting racket; swindling the bereaved with fake detection equipment and Angela's paranormal 'visions'. Hired to investigate a haunted old foster home, the team uncover its terrifying past: young girls brutally slaughtered, mouths stitched shut; silenced by a sadistic killer. And Angela's on the edge - sleepless, strung out and losing her mind, no longer certain what's actually real; convinced she hears the girls crying out to her from the darkness... But supernatural terrors are the least of their problems when they discover the very real evil lurking in the isolated house.

Anecdotes
Based on the book "Hush" by Eva Konstantopoulos.

Gaffes
Aside from certain technologies seen, such as 1980's headphones, there is very little from the actual 1980's in this movie. Most of the fashions, makeup and hairstyles seem very much from the 21st Century, especially during the nightclub scene.

Malevolent: A real letdown

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

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

Horror as a whole needs a reboot
