Review of Malignant (2021) by Jluis_001 — 16 Sep 2021

James Wan's Bogeyman, who likes to sharpen things like the red-faced monster from Insidious.

Yes, it's more gruesome when it comes to violence, but everything Wan has done before is here, especially what he did in Insidious.

From the uninspired jump scares, always showing someone behind the character in the scene, along with the predictable formulaic music by Joseph Bishara, which leads you in every way.

To the story of the main character who repressed a sinister past, who is also forced to confront it with hypnosis.

Even the sets that involve the monster, at some points seem straight out of The Further.

You know, if it's not dark, dirty, and dilapidated, it doesn't work.

Malignant it's very long, repetitive, and painfully predictable.

Won't even talk about the lazy performances, nor the missing payoff from its conclusion.

Wan sold Warner some kind of modified rehash of his old tricks, and they bought it as a high-caliber film.

Gotta respect him for it.
