“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.”
From director Olaf de Fleur Johannesson, a native of Iceland, Malevolent is a horror about siblings who run a scam posing as a duo that can communicate with those who have passed on. After they receive an assignment to investigate an orphanage where gruesome murders took place the scam is officially over. I’m not sure what to expect from this movie but it’s October and I will give anything horror a chance so bring it on! Check out the official trailer below.
