Review of Malignant (2021) by Compi24 — 11 Sep 2021
On the one hand, there's the consistently questionable dialogue, the spotty performance work throughout and the overall clumsiness in handling certain nuts and bolts in the narrative. On the other hand, though, there's James Wan's always dynamic directorial bravado on display, the generally engrossing mystery at the center of things.
..and the absolutely batty third act that's just impossible not to enjoy. I hate to parrot the masses with this stale of a take here, but they really are correct - the final twenty minutes of this movie really do make it worth the watch.
It's just always a blast to see a film and filmmaker make such a balls-to-the-wall, wacky-ass decision and have it pay off with so much raw entertainment value. Can definitely say with confidence that this is something I've never seen before and I for sure do not regret doing so.
