'Malignant' on HBO Max Has Social Media Weighing in on '90s-Inspired Horror Movie
'Game-changer'
if you're going to see a movie this weekend, make sure it's james wan's #malignant, which i believe to be his most ambitious and remarkably original film since "saw", and a horror movie that ranks among the best thing the genre has to offer this year pic.twitter.com/48GLX41xu4

"[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."

"[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."

The room changes in #Malignant are so beautifully done. James Wan really knows how to make horror feel so 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."

After Malignant, I will never doubt James Wan again.
A rare horror feat that sharply combines multiple horror genres while completely embracing B-Movie schlocky camp. Oh, and that third act? Absolutely bonkers and completely insane!
I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!

"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."

"[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!!!"
prevnext'Fantastic movie'

"[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!!"
