MODERATORS
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.
