Malignant

I think one could argue Quentin Tarantino's whole body of work is a homage to films Tarantino loves, like B-Westerns, B-Kung-Fu movies, B action films,  Peckinpah films, De Palma's films, etc. James Wan, the Australian director who has brought us Saw, The Conjuring, Insidious, and many other great horror films has brought us what I consider to be his homage to 80s VHS B-Horror films, Tarantino style. Malignant is an extraordinary B-"Midnight-Madness"-horror movie. Taken in that context, it's a blast of fun. What's it all about? Annabelle Wallis plays Madison Mitchell, a woman who is haunted by The Eyes of Laura Mars type visions where she can see murders happening in real time. The source of these visions is so outlandish that you will howl with laughter - this is great B-horror movie stuff. With castle-sized hospitals with classic accompanying lighting and thunder, plus weird experiments being performed by people in white lab coats, we are in a B-horror happy place. To top it off, there is a Matrix style fight scene in a jail holding cell that will bring you joy. Catch this wonderful trash pick in the theatre or on streaming services.
