It's not that kind of movie. Think Giallo influences

The horror genre has been a disappointment for too long for me to bother with this generic female lead latest edition.

Its just not consistently engaging. I made it 1/3rd through the first time, and 1/2-way through the second, but it loses its grip too often to hold me til the end.

Just finished it and, wow. Weird concept. I can wholeheartedly say I did not see that coming. It wasnt all that scary though, tbh. The biggest scare I had was right after I got to the end of the credits, and the light I had on next to me switched off. Something must have triggered the smart outlet because when I turned it back on, it immediately turned itself back off again. I had to turn it back on like three or four times before it stayed on. Very creepy.

Premise for James Wans next horror movie.

It would be a pretty boring movie, just a chunky white dude tapping a fake button on his smart phones screen over and over and then going to bed.

Im glad I watched the rest of that.

*spoilers*

Holy shit that was funny as fuck. I liked the 1st Conjuring but not really anything else from Wan. This just put him and his co. back on my radar. Film was like a 7/10 overall but holy fuck me lmao they really, really made me laugh with that 3rd act. Glad they didnt chicken out, instead just fucking going for it.

Bravo.

It's a legit question. If jump scares make you that scared then why even watch horror movies? You watch horror movies to be scared.

Because I enjoy literally every other aspect of a horror movie. Horror movies arent defined by their jump scares, and if they are then theyre a shit horror movie. Most people would actually agree that a horror movie with too much jump scares is cheap and shitty, even if most people can tolerate the jump scares while I cant.

Horror movies can have so much more that make them worth watching. The atmosphere, visual effects (especially the older movies with practical effects), characters, stories etc. Ive seen some incredible horror movies with little to no jump scares that I genuinely loved.

I just absolutely despise the physical jolt that jump scares give my body, its so uncomfortable and one of my most hated feelings in the world
For what its worth I would say that there are only two, maybe three *actual* jump scares in the movie? Maybe Im just numb to them but I feel like a blender suddenly turning on isnt really jarring enough to be considered an actual jump.

I will say that there was one jump scare that legitimately made me jolt with adrenaline, but only because it was out of nowhere in what had been an otherwise not-scary part.

Its definitely different than I think a lot of people were expecting. That third act really comes out of left field and the tone shifts so suddenly that it feels almost like youre watching a different movie.

I wasn't too keen on it in the first place because the trailers make it look exactly like the kind of horror film I don't care for, but this has piqued my interest. I'll watch it tonight.

Was the one that made you jolt with adrenaline either a body with a bloodied face falling down from the ceiling or was it a screaming woman appearing on the other side of a washer screen window?

I got those two above as the bolded major jump scares from the list given here: https://wheresthejump.com/jump-scares-in-malignant-2021/

Ill probably be checking on that list and the run time Im on constantly as I watch the movie lol
