James Wan, known for ‘Saw’, ‘Insidious’, and ‘The Conjuring’, flips the script with ‘Malignant’—a chaotic homage to giallo, body horror, and B-movie mayhem. It’s campy, outrageous, and self-aware in all the best ways.

Annabelle Wallis stars as Madison, whose murder visions turn out to be real. What starts as a familiar supernatural setup quickly morphs into something absurdly unpredictable—culminating in a third act twist that’s wild, weird, and kind of brilliant.

Michael Burgess’ tilted cinematography and Joseph Bishara’s industrial score create an unsettling, game-like atmosphere. The action-horror choreography feels like a haunted superhero flick—stylised, surreal, and sharp.

‘Malignant’ isn’t your typical horror—it’s a pulpy, rule-breaking experience. Wallis delivers a committed performance, and Wan fully embraces the madness. You’ll either roll your eyes or have the time of your life. (Available to stream on Amazon Prime Video on rent)
