Review of Malignant

Malignant (I) (2021)
7/10
Good but I expected something entirely different
12 September 2021
It's really not bad, it actually has a good story and the gore is especially scrumptious. But it gets muddled by some cheese and fluff.

The trailer makes it seem more serious than it actually is. In reality, the movie is comparable to the "Scream" franchise, with lighthearted elements sprinkled throughout a whodunnit manhunt. And that threw everything off for me throughout the whole thing as they didn't seem to quite gel with each other. Add to the mix some erroneous characters like the lovelorn forensics expert and you'd wish they had either tighten the reins a little or pulled more towards a single direction.

But the last 30 min or so is a must-see.
