'Game-changer'
"[Malignant] is a game-changer," wrote critic Shannon McGrew. "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."
'Insane and completely unpredictable'
"[Malignant] is absolutely insane and completely unpredictable. It's also one of the first modern horror films I've seen in years that fully embraces CAMP, which I thought was a long-dead art," tweeted another viewer. "More like this, please."
Feels 'real and creepy'
"Movie was wild! James Wan is a mad man! Horror has been on a roll this year!," wrote somebody else. "STAY AWAY FROM SPOILERS if you can! The visuals and the soundtrack man."
'Absolutely bonkers'
"I don't really do movie reviews (i should) but [Malignant] is a low key mind f—," commented another person. "Some of the scenes in the beginning will have you questioning why you're even watching, but once you get into the juice of the story it's brilliantly unique."
'Unique and scary'
"[Malignant] is frickin insane," added one fan. "It's James Wan's most Innovative, goriest horror film till date. It's mind-bending & also has some decent scares, but not in typical James Wan fashion like we see in Conjuring and others. It's very fresh, unique and scary at the same time!!!"
'Fantastic movie'
"So I just finished watching James Wan's brand new film Malignant and wow, I certainly did not see any of that craziness coming," tweeted one. "Absolutely bonkers and f—ing insane. The horror genre needs James Wan. Badly. Fantastic movie. 5 star work again."
'Instant horror classic'
"[Malignant] is fckn INSANE!" wrote another viewer. "It feels like an instant horror classic and James Wan does it once again. The twist is on the level of The Sixth Sense. Also a surpising amount of action that is so bloody, cool, and inventive. I loved this film!!"
