my review of malignant
4 years ago
so a couple of weeks ago i watched the new james wan horror film malignant. and honestly another demon film like the conjuring did not sound that good to me but this movie did look interesting. sadly that was not the case.
pros of the movie: while some of the acting was not the best in the movie i did like the main cast a bit. there are some decent practical effects in this movie which is overshadowed by the huge ammount of cgi in this film. there was a ton of gore and blood in the film and ill give them credit for it cause im use to watching horror films with a ton of blood and gore.
cons of the movie: like i said the acting was not the best in this movie, there was a ton of underacting and overacting in this movie and it was just cringe. the over use of cgi was just not good. while i thought the story was an interesting idea for a horror film, a evil parasitic twin taking control of his twin's body to kill people that wanted to remove him sounded interesting but it just didn't go right for me, my biggest problem was the ammount of things the movie never explained like her sudden psychic powers which technically explained but not that well.
most people who saw this movie said that this film embodies the spirit of a classic 70's and 80's slasher film. well if they wanted the movie to be a bad 80's slasher film than this movie succeeded at that
