    Spoiler review:
    My friends and I watched this as a group on Discord, riffing it the entire time. When it initially seems to be implying the horror is mental illness or vengeful miscarriage ghost we joked that all the creepy stuff she was doing were just the normal side effects of taking Tylenol. When we saw Gabriel for the first time, one of us said: "That's him, officer! That's Tylenol!" and we all died laughing. Then we just started calling Gabriel "Tylenol" for the rest of the movie. 10/10 comedy.

    The one thing I really enjoyed about this movie was the effects and the set pieces.

And why the heck is it so fragile? At some point it almost feels more cartoon-like than anything, but the fight sequences were interesting to watch. I was definitely laughing a ton - more than I should given the tone.

    OKAY SO i can totally see where you’re coming from and agree that the messaging of the movie is a little fucked, but that’s where my agreement ends. the movie was DEFINITELY in on the joke, and i think where you think you were laughing at the movie, the movie was definitely laughing with you. to me, the movie read as mainstream 80s slasher. schlocky, violent, over-explained, the antagonist is a scary overpowered man with inexplicable powers, the protagonist is a brunette with no personality. that’s why all the fog machines, the spooky lab on the side of a cliff, the cartoony fight sequences. i think the disco woman is really there to hammer home the reference to 70-80s horror. i’m not denying your reading, but that’s my interpretation of the intention. all that said, to claim the movie isn’t “in on the joke” sort of misses the point.

    Okay but I have to say about James Wan... that the Saw movies are genuinely some of the best entrees the comedy genre has ever received.
    Like the first one is kinda like, nonsense, but the sort of nonsense where you're like "Obviously this is bullshit but it's at least fun like an escape room kinda deal"
    And it's all like, super intense when Cary Elwes cuts off his leg so he can reach a phone that he needs to answer for no good reason, and the phone isn't that far out of reach, and he takes his shirt off and you think "Oh he's going to use the shirt to drag the phone to him because that would be really easy to do and they already used that trick so they clearly have thought of it already" but instead he uses it as a tourniquet so he can cut off his foot... that kind of stupid nonsense but perfectly fine fun...
    And then the sequels get progressively more and more silly, while taking themselves even more seriously, and they clearly think they're really cool and impressive, and then the guy who takes over from Jigsaw is so clearly somebody's fanfiction self-insert OC, and how can you not love those movies and not just completely bust a gut laughing at them

    Important context! This film was in part his wife's idea-- she also helped write the script and played the awkward and very horny forensics cop! No prize for guessing who the cop her character is so attracted to represents (hint: it's the cop that drives a sports car lmao). So it's likely Mr. Wan used his clout with WB to green light this wicked bad idea he and his wife had - although it is very important to emphasise that this does not place the blame on Ingrid. She isn't an experienced director and script writer with 40 million dollars and a small army of crew behind her.
    Just some juicy context for why it's not his usual junk.

    Utterly and completely shocked you didn't like this ridiculous bonkers movie. From the terrible dialogue, the crazy fights, the "50 years of prison exploitation movies in one room" scenes with Zoe Bell, everything in this was nuts and pure entertainment. It even had a "why is this woman in the movie? Is she the director's girlfriend?" and she was! This was schlock horror at its finest.
    The most unrealistic part was a nurse and a deadbeat husband owning a house like that in Seattle. My god. You have no idea.

Not because the director had a genuinely wild plot they wanted to tell and a weird sense of direction.

    It seems like Malignant has the same worldview as the Conjuring. That conservative "satanic panic" mindset that anything off the beaten path is scary and dangerous and will destroy you.

      That's what Gabriel is. Unlike Belial, he's not an autonomous being. He doesn't even have a brain of his own. He's more like a Mr. Hyde, a separate personality for Madison to express her repressed desires, and also to satisfy her need for a friend during her traumatic medical isolation.
      I will grant that the final scene of imprisoning Gabriel has unpleasant implications, however.

  • @pghCaretaker
    @pghCaretaker 3 роки тому +11

    This is fantastic. I also loved the film for being so off the wall. I noticed almost everything you critiqued, but I gave the movie a bit too much benefit of doubt in some spots. Specifically the prison scene and implication that eugenics is good sometimes. Also the lack of consideration for people who’ve been through miscarriages. These parts are regrettable to say the least.
    That said, I think some parts could be viewed differently. I thought the movie was bringing into question the efficacy of medical and prison institutions.
    The doctors did terrible things to Gabriel and never once tried to do right by him. I could be misremembering, but I thought the point was they were using him for testing/experiments once they understood his potential power. The safety of the MC was squarely below their own safety and research endeavors.
    I need to rewatch before I go on, but my point is that I’M the one who thought too hard about this movie. You did indeed think the normal amount. Thanks for your work as always.

    One thing you didn’t mention that I’ve been mulling over is the way the movie deals with gender. And specifically how it deals with Gabriel’s gender. The main character, in the movie, is portrayed as your average, womanly woman right? But concealed inside her, via surgery no less, is a violent, predatory, child-hating male identity. This identity comes out, changes the main characters gender expression, and spends his time causing harm to people. Anyone well versed in trans theory can recognize this as some really weird themes.
