NETFLIX SUMMARY:

Brother and sister team Angela (Florence Pugh) and Jackson (Ben Lloyd-Hughes) are nothing more than scam artists. Preying on the grief stricken and the vulnerable, they convince the bereaved that Angela has the ability to contact the dead. It's a simple con, until Mrs. Green (Celia Imrie) summons the pair to her home -- the orphanage that was once stage to a string of murders of young girls -- and Angela grows less and less certain of what's actually real. The fake paranormal investigators suffer the ultimate reality check when they are confronted by the true horrors and terrifying past that lie hidden within the haunted orphanage.

MY REVIEW

When I gave my IMDB rating a 7, I was pushing it, Malevolent was a great well rounded movie and it had some very good solid scary moments. But it almost seemed predictable at times. But I really liked the over all creepy feeling that stayed with the movie till the end. It was well imagined and you could relate to the characters. There was nothing cheesy about the acting, it was intense at times but in some parts it dragged a little and you would lose track of what the story line was. But it was diffidently a great horror movie.
