This movie is bad. Like, really bad. James Wan is a very capable writer and director, but his latest film Malignant (2021) is just offensively bad on so many levels.

This film demands your full attention. Jason Furie fully committed his mind and body to this experience while Adam Roth possibly did no such thing and now lives in regret. Guess who enjoyed this film more? We review Andrei Tarkovsky's 1979 sci-fi cult classic "Stalker" that is sure to generate some conflicting opinions and  interpretations. If you're going to watch this one, be sure get The Criterion Collection edition 2K remaster. It's amazing.
