Malignant (2021)

AUGH nice. The sentence I said while watching it with my partner was “this feels like schlock from a parallel universe where every movie is sick as fuck”. It operates on b-movie logic, so it gets away with sometimes lying to the audience and having pretty awkward dialogue.

What elevates this movie from other schlock is that every aspect of it is extremely well executed. The lighting is incredible, the special effects are fantastic, there’s one action scene that fucks extremely hard (you’ll know it when you see it), and at no point did I feel like the filmmakers weren’t going all out on this.

It’s funny and genuinely cool as hell at times. Just be aware that it deals with abuse and miscarriages at the beginning.
