Malevolent (2025) – Evil Doesn’t Knock Anymore. It Walks Right In.

They pretended to chase ghosts—until the ghosts started chasing back.

Malevolent (2025) is a chilling supernatural horror that redefines the haunted house genre with a psychological edge and relentless dread. Set in rural Scotland, the film follows a pair of siblings—Clara and Finn Holloway—who run a fraudulent paranormal investigation service, preying on grieving families for profit. But when they take a job at a remote orphanage with a grim past, their con becomes terrifyingly real.

The orphanage was once the site of unspeakable abuse and violent deaths, its halls still echoing with the cries of the lost. As Clara begins experiencing horrifying visions and Finn spirals into paranoia, the siblings realize they’re not alone—and worse, they’re no longer in control. The spirits aren’t just restless—they’re orchestrating something.

With the line between guilt and possession blurring, Malevolent asks: what happens when the con artist becomes the target? And can you escape a curse that feeds on your own lies?

Tense, atmospheric, and steeped in trauma, the film delivers more than jump scares—it’s a descent into moral rot, with evil growing from both the living and the dead.
