  • I’ve always been too nervous to ask this, but what do people like so much about Malignant? I probably watched it through the wrong lens, but like you, I went in blind.

    Without spoilers, I mostly felt bored watching the movie or annoyed by the characters, other parts felt jarring or confusing rather than scary. When the movie reached the end, I was mostly confused and completely taken out of the moment, but then when I realized how everything ties in, my reaction was “well that makes no sense without context or at least stronger allusions!” Maybe I was supposed to think it was clever?

    It’s completely possible that I just missed something and didn’t clue in when I was supposed to or couldn’t relate to the characters well enough. With all the praise I hear for Hereditary, I want to be able to enjoy the movie the way everyone else did. I really appreciate any input or opinions.
















  • I think many of the people downvoting and/or reporting you (I did both) are aware that you’re joking. The problem is that your joke isn’t funny. It’s wildly offensive and racist.

    I get what you’re saying, “I don’t actually believe the racist stuff I said,” but we’re concerned with the part of that thought that you’re glossing over: racist stuff you said. Probably should just delete your comment.

    Just realize that comedy doesn’t give you carte blanche to shout racist stereotypes and move on.
