Malignant Review

By: Shanise Lachelle

(DEEP SIGH), I’ve put off writing this review for as long as humanly possible. I literally rewatched this movie twice and each time it got more and more ridiculous. Let’s get into it…

I remember when this movie premiered back in 2021 and people had so many mixed emotions about it. I skipped it because it looked like it would be super scary and demonic and in my older age I’ve become more sensitive to those type of films for some reason. But out of boredom I sat down and willingly watched this movie twice and kind of wish I didn’t .

To put it simply, this movie is about a woman named Madison who is seeing “visions” of a killer every time before they kill someone and she races against time to stop them. That is to put it in simple terms, but boy oh boy does that not even cover it!

At so many scenes I thought the movie would go somewhere, and it would do a u-turn and go somewhere else completely different. The amount of times I was shocked and confused, and not in a good way.

On one hand I was throughly entertained, like it was almost comical to me. And on the other hand I was severely disappointed. I went into this film knowing NOTHING. And left it completely empty and annoyed.

I’m even tempted to watch it ONE more time just to see if i can really like it. and on other hand i just do not wanna waste my time. this movie just did not scare me at all. it seemed more of a comedy if anything. between all the horrible lines and over acting, i questioned if this was a real movie and NOT a snl skit.

and the big reveal was in fact a HUGE reveal and i didn’t see it coming but it was just so weird, and i couldn’t take it seriously .

i give this movie 2/5. i mean i laughed a-lot, and was actually shocked with a lot of the plot twists. but it was just doing way too much and i couldn’t take it seriously .
