This was just a small misfire for him.

It’s interesting that he used his Aquaman, F7 and Conjuring clout to make this.

I thought it was a lot of fun. Especially that 3rd act. Pure hokum nonsense, but made with skill for what it was.

I'd put with other creative, unique, but forgettable horror films such as The Babadook, Darkness Falls etc.

The concept was neat. It was imaginative. But overall it was forgettable.

Haven't seen the movie or this RLM reaction, but this seemed to be something CP media types would be interested in

I really liked the Babadook. Darkness Falls was ok, but more of a teen/horror film. As a viewer who can normally just go with the reality the movie offers us up... the third act was beyond my ability. It was telling me that this

Spoiler!

This is the first movie in a long time that was just too over the top to like fully.

Just finished Malignant and enjoyed it. I liked that it went much weirder than I expected and I just rolled with it. Agree on the comments on some iffy CGI in a few places and that it’s ultimately forgettable despite mostly being well done.

Does make me want to go back and watch the Conjuring and Insidious which I’ve always heard about but never seen.

Deberg_1990 · 09-18-2021, 12:45 AM

Heh. Watched the Half in the Bag video.

It almost felt like the Jail/police station stuff ripped off Wan’s buddy Leigh Wannells movies ‘Upgrade’ and ‘Invisible Man’

You have good taste in movies man. I think both Upgrade & The invisible Man were both awesome. .

I truly hope his werewolf movie happens with Ryan Gosling as the lead. By all accounts, it is but you never know.

I saw Copshop in theaters the other day. Loved the hell out of it.

Surprisingly, OLD was pretty good

M. Night movie.

#Malignant is a game-changer. Defying the boundaries of genre film, Wan has created something unique and terrifying. It's a beautifully deranged work of art that is destined to become a cult classic. A love letter to the genre & its fans, this is Wan at his best. pic.twitter.com/Gohi7RAW3u

I didn't care for Malignant

KCUnited · 09-19-2021, 05:31 AM

I thought Malignant was fun but they squandered some potential. I didn't care for the music choices, needed heavier synth and less electric pop song remixes. Also less CGI karate and a few exposed breasts would've bumped it up a couple notches.

Yeah but Malignant had the best chair throwing scene since The Mummy.

I was kind of disappointed with Super Troopers 2 when I first saw it in the theater but when I watched it again it grew on me.
