Malignant

It's a gory horror movie with some hilarious moments that are probably not intentional. It's not built for someone who watches a movie to go "this isn't realistic, one star" to enjoy. James Wan included plenty of well shot and acted scenes of horror that are more entertaining than they are actually scary. I'll take a big silly swing like this over something in the Conjuring universe any day of the week.

Definitely not a 10/10 like some reviewers claim, but ABSOLUTELY not a 1/10 either.

25 minutes too long, some cheesy moments, but ultimately I personally was entertained. Was I scared? No. Did I have moment "ew that's NASTY"? Oh yeah.

All in all, it's a solid 7 from me and a fun way to spend a free evening if you have nothing better to do.

I had fun with this movie. They just went nuts and it was amazing. For a lot of the movie, I had problems with choices the characters were making. I was worried that when it got to the end, I was going to feel like it wasn't plausible enough. Well, that wasn't a problem, because this movie is so far off the rails, you'd be a goof to complain about realism. I appreciate what they did here, and I wish more movies could take things this far. Did I mention this movie is completely crazy?

Don't listen to any of the negativity, that's what happens when a movie shows up on HBO Max and people who don't appreciate horror movies try to watch it.

"Malignant" is Jame's Wan's love letter to old school horror and those of us who love it. A scary, fun movie that turns totally bat-s***t bonkers at the end, this movie is great from start to finish. Totally original and yet at the same time inspired by the grindhouse horror films of the 80's (and one in particular, but you won't get me to ever reveal which one!), Wan has delivered one of the most entertaining movies of the year. Best seen in theaters, but if you watch it on HBO Max, turn down the lights, mute the phone, pop some popcorn and prepare to be wowed.

If you're a fan of horror movie, "Malignant" is highly recommended without reservation.

People are always whining that no one tries anything new in Hollywood, well here it is. Sure it borrows elements from other movies but it's a fresh take. Turn your brain off and just enjoy the ride. If you're a true horror fan, I mean one who devours all things horror, you'll love it.
