Review

A star rating of 3 out of 5.

Josh Winning

Knowingly schlocky and drenched in atmosphere, this violent shocker from James Wan aims for freaky fairground thrills, and delivers them after a slow-burn first hour. Annabelle Wallis stars as Madison, a pregnant woman trapped in an abusive relationship, whose partner is killed at their home one night in mysterious circumstances. While detectives hunt the killer, Madison begins to suffer visions of further murders, and fears she's losing her mind. With its glossy chills and elliptical characterisation, Malignant is more in keeping with Wan's first Saw movie than his haunted-house chillers The Conjuring and Insidious. The much-touted twist does take a long time to come, but from then on the film delivers on its promise of gory and bonkers action, with neat prosthetics and a slick, moody look.
