Malicious

I usually put reviews about movies that were exceptional good or bad. This time I was very positively surprised by Malicious. I thought this will be just average film that I could watch on the weekend. You know, simple plot, nice to watch, maybe some good looking actors, chill movie. But I found it really cool. I don't want to say too much about the plot but I find this movie very pleasant to watch, it's not what it seems and I'm very glad I did give a go. Way above average, and I'm glad I still can find new movies to watch. Recently I go back to 'old' movies from 80s and 90s, because most of the movies nowdays I would call 'poop'. Not every movie, but usually they're just crappy.

First off , what man allows some stranger into their home with his family. You could tell from the beginning of the movie that the Lauren and Erin were in on this random stranger showing up at their remote home, they were to eager to invite him in. Then the other two goons show up and the storyline becomes even more confusing, why were they even there? That never comes to light. After Wills attempt to escape and the mother and daughter did absolutely NOTHING I was so over this movie. Will should have known then they had setup this tragic turn of events to kill him. It was so obvious Jesse was Erin's real dad!! Like come on!! The mom saying she didn't know Will forced himself on the daughter then at the end saying you didn't think I could kill him was dumb. So we must assume Erin told her dad about the abuse. The acting was all around trash,the plot was bad and exhausting to watch.

I figured out pretty quickly mama and daughter were in on the whole thing, but I still can't understand the point of that two heavies who show up halfway through the movie. ????? What was the point of them being in the movie? Did the stepfather hire them to kill his wife and stepdaughter he was molesting? I am so lost.????? The plot was good except for their asinine scenes. They literally added nothing to the movie. Cousins of the director maybe? The other actors were marginally believable but very wooden. The only good actor was of course the bad guy. He did a fairly good job. Plot good, except for the 2 weirdos. Lol.

This movie tried to be controversial, but as i sat and watched it i found it to be so predictable. The characters on the screen portrayal was so wooden, especially the mother. From the first time you saw her on the screen you just knew she was suspect, the acting was ok, except for those punches the step father were taking. Lol, I couldn't help but laugh. This movie could have been made for the Lifetme Channel, and it probably would have a bigger audience and reception. Hate to sound like a Debbie downer, but I've seen better. Overall, I give it a 5 out of 10. It's a quick watch, but predictable.
