''Malevolent'' is a 2018 Creator/{{Netflix}} original {{Horror}} film directed by Olaf de Fleur Johannesson, written by Ben Ketai and Eva Konstantopoulos (based on the novel ''Hush'' also written by Konstantopoulos), and starring Creator/FlorencePugh, Ben Lloyd-Hughes, Scott Chambers, Georgina Bevan, Creator/JamesCosmo, and Creator/CeliaImrie. Angela (Pugh) and Jackson (Llyod-Hughes) are a brother and sister team in 1986 Glasgow, Scotland who run a business expelling ghosts, using their mother's legacy as a psychic to provide credibility. It's all a scam, aided by Jackson's girlfriend, Beth, and Elliot, their camera man. When Angela starts seeing and hearing things, she tries to get out of the business, but Jackson, in debt to loan sharks, insists on one last job, Mrs. Green's manor. Three foster girls were murdered at that house, reputedly by Mrs. Green's son, Herman, and Angela quickly learns that their spirits are not quiet...

!!This film exhibits the following tropes:
* EvilDetectingDog: Averted. Angela's grandfather's dog starts barking frantically while she's visiting, which normally would be a cue in this sort of film for ghosts to show up, but nothing happens.
* LoanShark: Jackson is desperate to make enough money to pay off the shady figures he owes.
* MedicateTheMedium: [[spoiler:Jackson is seen popping pills throughout the film, including once after seeing a ghost. It's implied this is how he's been treating his own abilities.]]
* MouthStitchedShut: This is how the girls were found at their death. [[spoiler:Later in the film, Beth and Jackson get the same treatment after being captured]].
* NotSoPhonyPsychic: It seems that Angela ([[spoiler: and Jackson]]) inherited her mother's powers, and is starting to see the ghosts they've been claiming to exorcise.
