Malignant
I'm generally not a fan of horror, not straight horror, anyway. There are exceptions, of course, I liked Alien, for example, but it's generally not my genre. Horror comedy, on the other hand, I can get down with. Malignant has been marketed as a straight horror, hence I paid no attention to it. Then the HitB on it came out suggesting it was a horror comedy and it was on HBOMax, which I have, so I gave it a spin.
10/10 Movie of the Year.
I'm still not completely sure whether the comedy was intentional, I think it was. I don't think Warner Brothers was in on the joke, I can't fathom how they would have greenlit something this ridiculous had they known what it was. This is either the most misguided attempt to make a horror movie in recent history or the most brilliant troll job in recent history, take your pick. Either way what we are left with is one of the funniest movies I have seen in long time not made by Neil Breen.
The best part is that they sort of play it straight for a decent chunk of the film, but then it goes off the rails. I'm not talking simply going off the rails, I'm talking about the train careening off the rails, falling off a giant cliff, crashing into a hospital full of orphaned children, catching the entire building on fire, then exploding in a way that would make Michael Bay jealous. The 3rd act is so unbelievably, wonderfully over the top ridiculous... *chef kiss* Magnifique!
