Review of Malignant (2021) by Jaysw — 10 Sep 2021
If it doesn't get the Razzy, it was robbed. Honestly, this movie is so insanely bad, it is good, then bad again. It can only be assumed its intentionally bad. The acting is absolutely awful. The dialogue is very canned and stilted. The actors have about as much inflection as a My Buddy Doll. Even their actions a dumb. The cops act like a bad 1970s under budget cop show. And everyone makes conclusions that aren't evident. In one scene, the lead protagonist is putting her dirty clothes in the dryer (unwashed) when she witnesses a murder. All the characters just follow along for no logical reason other than to set up the next scene. Our mid-twenties protagonist doesn't even remember her teenager traumas, without her overly bewildered mother showing her home movies that were somehow kept and forgotten up until this point. Somehow her own same-age sister doesn't even remember this. It makes no sense. Also, every character is exceedingly cliché to the point of stupidity. The intended horror scenes are so bad, that they are laughable. Seriously, you will laugh at how absurd they are. I can literally point out something wrong in every single scene. Its that overwhelmingly bad. I have seen better films on Mystery Science Theater.
Troll 2 and the Room may have new competition for worst movie.
