Verdict on Malicious
Malicious is a thriller following a family who comes under attack by a man who wants something from the family and will do anything to make it happen. However, as the night unfolds, the truth comes out leading to the shocking revelation in the family.
This movie does bring to life the home invasion movie, with everything seemingly going as expected. It sees one man taking control of the family and demanding answers, like we would expect. However, this holds back everything that they want and leaves us shocked by the outcome. If you want to see a movie that has all the intensity of every is going on and secrets coming out. This is a perfect selection for you. However, it doesn’t get into the true horrific side until much later in the truth.
Final Thoughts –Malicious is an intense disturbing home invasion movie.
