Malignant Is No Serious Horror Film, Fans Argue

Users replying to a post about Malignant described the 2021 film as enjoyable when treated as parody rather than straight horror. One viewer reported cackling for 45 minutes once the third act revealed its action focus. Others called it their movie of the year and the funniest thing they had seen, or advised ignoring anyone who says it is bad. A fan jokingly asked director James Wan for a sequel called Malignant 2: Gabriel in Space. The visible replies emphasize letting go of seriousness to appreciate the absurdity.
