In an interview with Bloody Disgusting, James Wan | had defined Malignant as their “Version of the yellow”. One of the film’s strongest points is the tributes to less mainstream horror films, which are accompanied by a large number of very bloody sequences. Beyond the nod to the Italian genre, there is also much of the slasher subgenre in its history, to which it brings some supernatural elements. From the music stands out a sample of “Where is my mind?”, The famous song by Pixies that never fails, which accompanies in various moments of the film.

Malignant it is a movie with very good ideas. Many. The bad thing is that at times they overlap or become entangled and it is not clear where they want to go James Wan |. There are plot twists that get whimsical and the plausibility is constantly changing. It is true that horror films do not need to justify absolutely everything, but the leaps that occur in relation to the rules of the world in which the film takes place are all too obvious.
