Move along to another film on your Netflix watchlist, because there is nothing new to see here. Despite the distinguished presence of the great Celia Imrie, this a disappointing Brit horror.

It was alright. Nothing we haven't seen before. However, I do enjoy it when horror movies involve mindf*ckery. One thing I can't figure out though - maybe I've missed it in the beginning - is, [spoiler]why did Mrs. Green invite the group over to "investigate" the house? Surely, she knowingly brought about her own downfall by doing so. Or was it supposed to be some kind of trap[/spoiler]?

Florence Pugh as the film's lead is great - even if she hasn't got a lot to work with. The divine Celia Imrie is typically brilliant [spoiler]and it was great to see her in a role like this; I was quite shocked at how good she was at being, err, malevolent[/spoiler]. The music was good and the visuals were pretty solid, it's just a pity the script and plot were fairly weak. Clocking in at under 90 minutes works in its favour but sadly it's fairly underwhelming overall. Certainly not terrible to fall into "so bad it's good" territory but I fear not quite good enough to recommend - not unless you're really hardpressed for something to watch and have the time to kill. Certainly Celia Imrie has been in far better vehicles. The only real plus point for me was it introduced Pugh as someone to look out for in other films or shows.

It sadly doesn’t have high ratings, but I actually enjoyed it. It’s not phenomenal, but it’s still a fairly decent horror with a twist to it.

Florence Pugh is a great actress buy you'd be better off watching her in Lady Macbeth. This one was rather boring and unoriginal. I didn't find it particularly scary and instead of it being a creep ghost movie, it sorta turns into an annoying torture-fest by the end. Poorly developed characters and More

Malevolent did not capture my attention at all. Boring and old hat as they come, _Malevolent_ might have been worth my money, (because I watched it on a Netflix account that I don't pay for, so that money was zero) but it was not worth my time, or yours.

_Final rating:★½: - Boring/disappointin More

Bad watch, probably won't watch again, and can't recommend.

The movie description didn't do this justice: it makes it sound like a "Scooby Doo" episode that turns real, when it should have been closer to "Don't Breathe".

And that's where most of my contention comes in: the misdirection plot of More
