Good, if not a tad predictable
Considering this film came out in 1999, I'm rather surprised I've never seen it. Watching it back now, I'm afraid to say my enjoyment of it may have been spoilt by not watching it when it was originally released.

For the most part this is a fairly enjoyable supernatural thriller. It's entertaining and there are a couple of decent scares, and the premise is straightforward. The problem however is that I've seen similar stories to this many times before, whether it be on tv (e.g. Supernatural), or films (e.g. What Lies Beneath) etc. I cant say more without spoiling the story, but I'm sure many people watching this would recognise a similar story. It's a shame as this film probably came out before most of the ones I've seen before, but as I watched this 20 years late it just seems like nothing new.

I'm probably being rather unfair with this film, but I cant pretend it doesnt remind me of many others!

Well, Malignant is a ride from start to finish, the first hour being a mix of creepy supernatural horror (that James Wan can do in his sleep by now), crime thriller, and kind-of-sort-of Giallo (especially in some of the aesthetic choices), before unabashedly revelling in its 0-to-100 climax.
The less said about this the better, go in blind if you can, but all I'll say is this - if you like the sound of any of the above details, and enjoy a healthy slice of gore that is reminiscent at times of the 80s horror era, then strap in, because you are in for a treat. Not even kidding, probably Wan's finest hour.
