terrifying realities.
Review: James Wan is one of the best current horror movie directors. Because
after “Saw”, ‘Insidious” and “The Conjuring”, he shows with “Malignant”again
how well this genre suits him.
When the pregnant Madison
loses both her husband and her inborn child in an unexplained attack one night,
her life falls apart. Yet things don’t get much better after that, when she starts
having visions of similar killings, which are completely consistent with what
is happening in reality at the time. And I’m stopping here, because it’s best
to not know too much about the film before you watch it.
From the very first shot it
is clear that “Malignant” is a horror film, but Wan leaves the viewers guessing
to what kind of horror movie is exactly is. These days it’s somehow very
difficult for director to create an original horror movie that is unpredictable.
But James Wan did it. “Malignant” is one of the most original and surprising
horror movies I’ve seen recently. With an ending you could never predict.
Rating: 4/ 5
