70/100

In Malignant, director James Wan crafts a visually-impressive horror experience in which camera work, production design, and aesthetics do most of the heavy lifting. Annabelle Wallis and her Backpack do their best with a garbage script and subpar supporting cast that appears to be there to punch the ticket. If you can get over the slow opening 30 minutes, Malignant's innovative ideas distinguish it from the usual horror movie clichés, giving surprising turns that keep you intrigued until the end.
