I have to say, though there were moments I enjoyed I was really bored by the second act. Britney, Jenna, and Mia were great so was Kid :jamming: I just wasn't interested in the motive behind the killers. I don't mean to make it sound as though I hated the film, I really didn't, I think my expectations were too high. A lot of critics threw around the word 'subversion' but this didn't subvert any of the iconographies from 70s horror slasher films (save for men dying in their underwear) but even that was matched and overmatched by the female nudity and male gaze. 

 

The film itself was gorgeous but I didn't feel any tension. So many of the murders were done quickly and without rising anticipation. All in all it was good, but I don't really understand why it's getting the amount of acclaim it is :michael:

The third act was a MEGA SERVE. Poor the first half of Malignant.

The movie reminded me to age gracefully and not get obsessed with youth and beauty.

Finished it. I don’t get the hype. It was your typical predictable horror movie. The victims did everything you shouldn’t do. Why the praise? So disappointing since everyone was saying how good it was

This was… boring? :doc: 

 

Like what even is that plot? “Young people rent a house do film porn, then get killed by an old couple” - you don’t need any extra explanation for it :deadbanana4:

 

The entire (young) cast was sexy and nice to look at, I guess

Yeah… this gave Netflix movie in quality but for some reason critics ate it up and by extension so did people online, I guess because of the A24 association.

I mean this is basically every A24 "horror" movie. You don't go into them expecting anything other than a slow burn drama that'll leave you confused. The witch, it comes at night and to an lessor extended Midsummer was all trash. Hereditary is the only one I genuinely enjoyed

how can talk about how meta is it for the characters to make an "elevated p***" in comparison to the A24-type of "elevated horror film"

loving the 70s aesthetic and style.... a little fresh air in the slasher genre

This movie was so... weird. I give it credit for being different.

Spoiler

The fact that Mia Goth played the young AND old woman... :deadbanana4:

Slashers are mostly garbage but this is the first good one in long ass time. People in here complaining about a slow set-up and comparing it to Netflix fodder. :rip:
