James Wan returns to horror with vicious “malignant”
There is no doubt that James Wan knows the genre of the horror. The man behind "El Conjuro", "insidiously" and "Sierra" did not have many mistakes franchise But his terrain "malignant" is just ridiculous.
A tribute to the physical horror movie director like Dario Argento, “Malignant” has nothing but originality, and even that reward takes a long time. They are not like real people.
You could see a version of “Malignant” made as a cheesy mockery, a deliberately “bad” ode to the dusty VHS discoveries. Instead, it’s totally and falsely self-centered. The worst part is that “Malignant” is also boring, even if the already bloody appearance starts in the third act.

Annabelle Wallis wears a poor black wig to play Maddie Mitchell, a pregnant Seattle woman with a string of miscarriages and a caricatured and abusive husband (Jake Abel). He also has terrible dreams of terrible murders that turn out to be true. One of the horribly murdered is her husband. He’s also losing the baby. And yet, despite all the signs that her stately Victorian home is being haunted and that she should probably take this opportunity in the pain and trauma of living with her sister Sydney (Maddie Hasson), she stays in the house.
Maddie begins dreaming of other random murders in town that turn out to be real. A couple of detectives, played by George Young and Michele Briana White, must try to piece the pieces together. Sydney and Maddie are also on their own quest for the truth, investigating the demonic calls Maddie receives from a man with a creepy voice who calls himself Gabriel. As a child, Maddie reveals that as a child, Maddie had an imaginary boyfriend named Gabriel with whom she regularly had disturbing conversations. Your solution back then? Bath them in love, not in therapy!
This, of course, takes her to a coastal psychiatric hospital where Maddie spent her pre-adoption years, and the discovery made is quite alarming. As I mentioned earlier, “Malignant” has at least originality.
It is also an ungrateful, humorless, and offensively sadistic film that does not capture any authentic emotions or make meaningful statements about the trauma. The movie is quite a bloody spectacle for a bloody spectacle’s sake, and it feels like being among Wan and Warner Bros. who have made some very good films together.
Like all Warner Bros. movies of 2021, “Malignant” will be airing on both HBO Max and in theaters. If you need to see “Malignant” honestly, a movie theater might be your best option. total excitement with his theater colleagues.
