Malicious
The McCabe family's weekend getaway is turned upside down when a mysterious stranger knocks on their door.
Why it matters

- Anchored by solid performances that sell the paranoia simmering beneath suburban calm.
- Practical effects and tight framing amplify the feeling that no one—and nowhere—is safe.
- For fans of slow-burn domestic horror who appreciate psychological games over gore.
- Taps into current anxieties about trust and the fragility of family bonds under pressure.
