Reviews

Entertaining, great make-up, funny, short. Definitely recommended and it's always great to see Bruce Campbell doing his thing. Can't say it's anything more than a fun watch though.

The movie was solid, nothing to write home about but good as far as modern horror goes. The social commentary was not at all subtle which is a shame. If you always need to be terrified by a horror film this is not the movie I would recommend but it had some cool kills and the ending was pretty spooky. To address the hate this movie gets regarding it's social commentary - how can anyone who knows the original expect anything else from this movie? Not only is the story based in black trauma, we live in an era where you just can't avoid making this sequel without addressing these issues. As I said before though it was not subtle and I suppose it can get tiresome for some but I didn't feel that way at all.

I doubt the good reviews are really paid for, I see why you can love this movie but I honestly hated it on first watch. I imagine I will change my mind if I rewatch in the future knowing that this is not a serious horror movie but rather a silly B grade flick with a big budget. I would rather rewatch Basket Case or it's sequels if I could take back the time I spent on this but I guess Malignant can be an amazing experience for some, not for me unfortunately.
