If horror movies have taught me one thing, it’s that if you start hallucinating or dreaming of murders in graphic detail, the killer is YOU!
Same! I thought either split personality or demonic possession.
Typically. But they say, crazy doesn't know crazy.
Can you please name some movies with that same plot??? If you know some.
@@Shane3599 Hide N Seek with Robert Deniro, The Secret Window with JOHNNY Depp
Yeaaa…….
YESS! When the movie finished I went “I can’t wait for the Foundflix video on this”
That third act reveal was so ridiculous and I loved that he leaned into the camp
Homie Im just waiting for the Kill Count
Both foundflix and kill count only worthy to watch rest are nowhere near as good cough carnage counts cough glad they finally put an end to carnage counts spamming reddit all the time
@@PennywiseTheDancingClown274 There is a few others. These are the best. James is re doing the Jason count.
@@dianapennepacker6854 I keep up with James not podcast though I forget why did he decide to redo series
Omg I thought the same thing !
It's such a joy to see how your movie collection has grown throughout the years. Your shelves are so impressive.
I want him to do a shelf tour
@@BestOnThursdays I second this!! I want the total too!!!
@@BestOnThursdays YES!!! I'll never forget, for the longest time, the movie "May" was visible.. to this day, that movie chills me to my CORE. Every single time I've EVER asked a fellow horror addict if they've seen it and it's ALWAYS a resounding "No". THEN, during a random ending explained, I noticed it right behind him. Thean has amazing taste in horror.
Anyway, if you're still here, if you LOVE obscure, disturbing horror I HIGHLY recommend seeking out "May".. however, go in totally blind. Don't even watch the trailer. It's one of Anna Ferris's first movies. Jeremy Sisto from clueless stars and Angela Bettis plays the titular May.
Sorry for the rant! I always love tangents with fellow horror enthusiasts 🖤🖤🖤
@ShadowOfDeth ???
For the longest time I could see the Futurama box sets next to him but they've migrated somewhere else apparently...
I couldn’t have laughed harder when Gabriel hit the two cops in the head with the chair from across the room. I really thought it was going through the window and Gabriel would escape. It was confusing at first because the camera angles leading up to that did telegraph something was going to happen but I didn’t see that coming. It was hilarious lol
That scene took me tf out. It was so hilariously petty. Like he wasn’t even trying to kill them he just wanted to inconvenience them 😂.
The chair shot made me say" what " out loud .I actually like this movie it's gonna be one of my go to movies when I want action, horror and a bit of a laugh.
Same. Last time I laughed that hard was in As Above So Below when Scarlett is running back to the start to return the stone, and when one of the creepy dusty monsters in the black robes start to get in her way, she just WHACKS it right in the middle of its forehead and sends it flying 😂
That whole "fight scene" reminds me of Aquaman lol
i literally said “oh wow” 😭😭😭
I hate how they never explain how Gabriel can manipulate electricity & talk through radios… never seen someone with a teratoma do that.
I think it’s when they did the shock therapy on her thus giving him powers
They did actually explain it but it was like a passing by blink and you will miss it kind of thing. They said that his abilities are mental and telekinetic in a sense. Gabriel can't speak on his own, so he manipulates things to speak through, like cellphones, radios and tv's using telepathy like broadcasting his mind to it or something. In the first scenes we see that the doctors got afraid that he was manifesting his voice through electronics and they made like a remark that he's "getting stronger" meaning he wasn't always able to do that and later I forget what scene it was, they mentioned the telepathy type of ability but not directly. I guess they didn't really want to focus on that. I was looking out of that bit too while watching it in theatre like ok if this is all in her mind, how do we explain the actual electronic stuff and then boom I heard it.
@@dominicklee9145 yup they explained this but it was easy to miss.
@@dominicklee9145 thanks because I was confused the whole movie as to how he can function as a supernatural being but he's not 🙏🙏
Im sure someone mught have already said this but the "if your partner was abusive why do you continue to sleep with them" plothole is actually really common in abusive relationships. Turning down your abusive partner advances can set them off
THIS!
I can't even so much as roll my eyes & I've triggered an explosive tirade full of cheating accusations
ive also heard theres also some cases where someone might think having kids, like having a family might "fix" their partner and make them better for the kids. but its not likely to work :,)
Why didn’t she use her sick fighting skills she and she alone would have to know since the tumor is a tumor and escape her abuser
@@creed8712 ok this is actually a good point🤣 maybe because she didnt know how to fight till the tumor/brother was woken up???
@creed8712 well didn't the brother wake up after the head hit? So it would be dormant, hence she wouldn't know how to fight since its all him
"Not like anyone changes their hairstyle over 20 years"
**sweats nervously in same dora the explorer haircut I've been wearing off and on since 95**
Hey man, Dora has had a wicked 'do since the early 2000s. I have had a similar same style only my shit has been more like that big ass red chicken but less stylish he must've used product
I just gave you your 95th like 🤣😂
“Barber no cutting” say wit with me
A classic is a classic!
🤮
the opening when they address gabriel and you faintly see him kind of intrigued me, i wasnt sure if maybe i was interpreting him a different way, but oh my god. when they actually revealed him attached to emily, i was downright fucking repulsed. i loved this movie, it was genuinely fun.
I thought it was an alien parasite and got so excited. Then they showed it later and I freaked out. I love this goofy spooky mess.
Same lol
The reveal was an oh damn wtf moment for me 🤣
Many people are comparing this movie to Basket Case and I can see the similarities. And Gabriel was played by a contortionist that performed on America's Got Talent.
What’s the actors name so I can check out that episode.
@@AnimatedTerror Marina Mazepa
When I found out that she was cast to play as a body double for a male character I got really confused until it was revealed that we'd never actually see Gabriel's real physical appearance and that a voice actor would be swapped in for when we heard his voice.
He was also on The Flash as the doll face killer. He had dreds and a mask.
@@grapeshot thanks.
I love how he gets mad at her for continuing to get pregnant as if she's been impregnating herself the entire time. LMAO
Abusers don't care. They will usually blame the victim, which in their mind, clears them of all misdeeds
From the one line I heard of the character demonizing men, he was mad that they kept dying not that she was pregnant.
That’s men for ya XD
Yeah also if he was controlling enough to keep her away from her family I’m sure he wouldn’t give her access to birth control
@@tayyabam5478 my exact thought
Just an FYI about abusive relationships, if Derek was physically abusing Madison and keeping her away from her friends and family, there's nothing to say that he wouldn't have vetoed her using any form of birth control, including the pill or condoms, as another form of the power he held over her--so not really a nit pick, more a sad reality :(
Totally agree, I thought the same thing. With that type of relationship she didn't really have a choice in the matter to sleep with him as well so you can't really nitpick why she was still sleeping with him.
@@Miserableatbest303 Exactly marital rape is a thing people need acknowledge.
And two extra points. She explains her adoption and a longing for connection so whether it was on purpose or not, she wanted to be loved by someone. Another reason (besides fear) people stay with their abusers. The other being, some women think pregnancy will change an abuser and she Ishtar not have gotten hit or they would go back to a loving relationship with a baby.
@Aristotle was Not a fan of Plato You're acting like movies and especially horror can't touch on abuse, like the invisible man was about that as a major part of the plot, what is there to come to the conclusion that if a partner is abusive, they would do abusive things like that. C'mon now.
@@SolarCandleCompany I think what he's saying is how hilarious this Virtue singling echo chamber is. It pops up in every article and every video these days, attempting to add a social/political message. I read a review for that Neill Blomkamp film "demonic" after watching it and the reviewer tried to make the knife stabbing at the end a Allegory for getting the vaccine. Pathetic, disgusting and basic. I already know the responses from idiots this will upset "movies and horror especially have always had social and political nessages" without noting that those movies are actually done well with the focus being on a actual story instead of heavy handed bullshit propaganda.
OKay that holding cell fight scene was pretty cool
Watching her move in reverse along with the fluid camera shots was awesome as hell
Besides the interior of the houses dimensions being way bigger than the outside (house of leaves anyone?), the attic with that massive industrial fan is absolutely not the same house
yessss house of leaves
Could have been same house
The house gets bigger, but the hallway gets smaller and smaller and longer...
Also, where did this closet come from?
Ayeee! House of Leaves is probably my favorite book I have read! There's a film called YellowBrickRoad that shares similar themes but making House of leaves into a movie would be just straight up impossible I feel like
In The shining there is literal windows, rooms, hallways etc… That don’t make any sense! Embrace the paranormal! It’s horror not an HGTV series.😂
Her repeatedly getting pregnant isn't really a plot hole. In an already physically and mentally abusive relationship, SA isn't off limits to an abuser. And reproductive abuse is common enough. People tampering with their partner's contraceptives in one way or another.
Yes and she also wanted a blood relation
Yes!!
Exactly this.
Had the same thoughts. Foundflix has showned in one or two other videos not understandings abusive relationship. Still like the video/channel though
Thank you!
I laughed, I embraced the ridiculousness and the Dead Silence-esque cheesiness. Also the line about "my eyes are gonna bug out of the back of my head" lol.
Comparing malignant to dead silence is disrespectful towards dead silence.....😂😭
No seriously though I used to love/hate dead silence lol, it uses to scare the shit out of me..I hated those dolls so much.🥵
I'm only 10:00 minutes in but how does the detective think that the unconscious pregnant lady with violent head trauma has the strength to swing their hand backwards into someone hard enough to snap their neck with whiplash?
About the birth control, it’s probably that he didn’t let her and she couldn’t do it secretly since abusers tend to control where their victims go
I would agree, but she’s a nurse and could have gotten an iud while at the hospital
@@AJtehJetPlane she probably didn't because if she got found out she'd get further abuse.
As someone that escaped an abusive relationship I can slide in my anecdotal rebuttal to the whole “why would you keep sleeping with him?!” thing. When you’re with someone that is abusive, there’s no bodily autonomy or freedom to say no. In fact it’s usually safer for you to let it happen. I didn’t have my own money and he maxed my only credit card ruining my credit or hope of getting a second one.
Just saying.
Yeah but if he was tired of her getting pregnant.. why wouldn't he want her on birth control? He's stupid but I doubt he's stupid enough to rely on the pull and pray method knowing full well he doesn't want kids
@@keithwoodcrest it makes her more dependent on him, even if the abuser didn’t want kids, pregnancy and miscarriage are a way of controlling a victim and making them reliant on their abuser. It’s fucked up but completely plausible
This movie from the ads seemed like it was gonna be a whole different movie
This movie was such a fun ride.
I genuinely feel sorry for the people that can't see that it's INTENTIONALLY campy. They missed out!
Such a throwback to that absurd, sensationalist horror of the 80's and early 90's.
I can’t lie at first I was like is it supposed to be like this, then it hit me and I throughly enjoyed the film
For me intentional camp does not excuse a mess of a story with several plot holes. I love camp and horror is my favorite genre. To many things left unanswered and actually made no sense. Why was Gabriel able to control electronics? How did he Gabriel turn invisible in the beginning when he made the couch cushion move? Why was some of the acting terrible and some really good? Why did Gabriel become a parkour expert at the end? I get the extra strength angle but to many crazy things that could used a bit more explaining to make this work for me. I’m not trying to take anything away from anyone that loved it just like to explain the reasons it didn’t work for me as a horror lover.
I like how people are being snobby regarding this movie's plot, but will praise overindulgent, routine, and manipulative tripe like A Quiet Place and Hereditary. They knew exactly what they were doing with this movie, and they executed it with relish. Try applying all this "logic" to b-grade horror classics like Reanimator, Society, and Return Of The Living Dead.
@@BangTanPrettiNikki the extra strength doesn't make any sense at all tho. with the reason behind the murders not being paranormal how the hell would an overgrown tumor heal her from breaking the shit out of her bones, splitting the back of her head open, and giving her super strength? she's sharing a brain not bodies. how was Gabriel able to talk to the detectives on the phone?
@@Erowid13 Absolutely and it’s funny that people who don’t see the the appeal of movies like Hereditary and The Witch, which I agree are not films for everyone but excuse nonsensical plots in films that try throw terms and titles like camp and think that excuses a film making sense. I don’t need to be spoon feed expositions or hand held but at least make a movie make since and flow properly. Movies like Sleep Away Camp, Killer Klowns from Outer Space, The Toxic Avenger, those are true camp horror films done right. I love horror and I’m very forgiving of the genre and very defensive because it gets a bad rep a lot of the time but this film was predictable. This film tried way to hard and did not hit the mark. It had acting that was per James Wan intentionally bad and acting that took itself way to serious. Is it camp or not? It missed fell flat and I’m okay admitting that I did not enjoy it. James Wan is a amazing creative mind this is just one I did not like and that’s okay. I am still a fan.
I left the theatre thinking “this would make a perfect marvel/DC super villain origin story” lmao. I didn’t hate it tbh, but it definitely gave me a more superhero/antihero movie vibe by the end 😂
Bruh the whole movie felt like an origin story
You’re right, she/he is like a batman villain because she killed the entire seattle pd like gotham pd.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought so.
I legit thought by the end of this I was gonna see her become some sort of antihero/vigilante with her new found abilities 😂 like I’m not even joking I legit thought that it was a possibility 😂
It wasn’t just “preconceived perception“ the advertising team actively chose to mislead people in the commercials.
Bruh!! THANK YOU
How were you misled
In an interview the director said “you have to be bold you have to take chances or else you end up making the same old thing again and again “ which is a great and honest way to sell this movie.
The commercials say hey audience let me assure you this is the same thing you’ve always loved from James wan nothing new to see here. You liked the conjuring? This is more of that…. come on down.
The average moviegoer is NOT watching director interviews so doesn't matter what Wan said in an interview that only his personal fans or cinephiles watch. They purposefully used his name to lure horror fans to watch what was really an action movie with horror elements. They got our cash so they didn't lose there and they'll follow along the reaction to see what they do next. I hated the story thought the twist was stupid and predictable. Wan is an amazing director so of course it was well shot but FOR ME lacking. This film is really for action fans not horror fans.
@@dreamscometrue246 that was the point I was trying to make. We don't disagree.
Foundflix: It’s not like anyone change their haircut over 20 years
Anna Wintour: 😎
I really wanna see you and James from dead meat try to create your own horror script. Since you both have such a wife knowledge of the horror genre I bet you guys can come up with something very scary
@Gator Mike Why? Just wondering, everyone always say wonderful things about him.
Wait a minute, “wife knowledge”? Are you implying that they’re somehow married to the horror genre? Or more so they’re married to their jobs as horror movie reviewers?
Sorry; it’s just a joke regarding the typo.
@@michaelnelson1127 😆😆😆
I was crying laughing at the jail cell scene. The costumes alone were wonderful. I love this movie bc it was pure comedy
Jail scene was my fav
I was rooting for anyone to fw Maddy so Gabriel can come out like he did on her husband
This movie is basically from someone who had read one story about a telekinetic / telepathic tumor given a body in a Manga titled Black Jack by Osamu Tezuka and played Soul Calibur as Voldo, and finally gave it more horror twist.
It’s so great to his and his fan’s takes on movies. I see something come out and want to hear what all y’all think cuz you have such different perspectives!
@@HoneyBeeFlanzman This movie has a way to make references to the most obscure things. It's both a stupid B movie and makes you think of past literature.
It’s like that Edward Mordrake urban legend but more supernatural. I kind of like it. And setting it up to be so over the top could make for more over the top installments as well, which I wouldn’t mind. More scenes of body horror and Gabriel being well… whatever it is Gabriel is. I could see how it could be off putting to some though.
They should've had Tom Waits' "Poor Edward" on the soundtrack.
From a ctitics pov i can see many of the perceived flaws, but from a casual viewers pov this was obviously just made for fun and i had a blast watching it. Also i can see if you went to this expecting something like the conjuring or his other work you may be disappointed with the way it turns out. But overall i think he delivered a solid experience( although not a solely horror one).
I love when we get more of your personality in these vids. The way you do comedy and bits is hilarious, I've yet to see another youtuber with your delivery and style
I literally loved the action in this movie, it was terrifyingly hilarious. Especially coming from James Wan.
My exact thoughts. My brother and I guessed the ending about half way through and laughed our asses off at how campy and great this movie was
@@bn-tc2tk Exactlyyy lmfaooo
Malignant reminded me a lot of Masters of Horror: Imprint, but that was a 50 minute experience, gave a more palpable sense of discomfort, and felt more cohesive as a story for all of its flaws. Malignant was more action filled and comedic by comparison.
I thought Malignant was a fun watch, this was certainly not a game changer though.
If someone told me this was meant to be a superhero/supervillain story similar to Brightburn, I would believe it given the strange super powers seemingly provided by having a teratoma.
Exactly! There was a similar story on Master Of Horror! I just can’t for the life of me remember the short story’s name!
Omg I used to love masters of horror. Especially Jennifer!
a few people have mentioned lights out and basketcase but i also got big "the dark half" vibes - it's an old stephen king book that got a movie treatment as well. pretty similar - evil brain teratoma with supernatural powers starts killing people who wronged him and everything
I feel like this movie was just paying homage to all the different genres of horror there is and even tho it is campy, it does this in a fun way, especially during that 3rd act reveal when Everything just hits the fan
It’s in the same category as dead silence
@@kvng_rvbby I don't remember Dead Silence making me laugh out loud.
"Secret Window" worked because it started off as Man vs Supernatural, then went Man vs. Man, then ended up being Man vs. Himself, but they did it correctly. This movie is trash in comparison as they made it VERY CLEAR it was Man vs Supernatural with the electricity and all and then ended up being complete bs Man vs Himself. This movie is terrible.
@@gomahklawm4446 Add alcohol or 420.
Wow! That was AWESOME!
@@A_RUclips_Commenter If I HAVE to do that to enjoy it, then why bother? If it's good without, it will be great with. It doesn't seem worth the time either way considering the trash ending. What's up with SOOOO American movies having trash endings for the last decade.... It's like they've completely forgotten how to do endings to movies.....one of the most important parts of movies. So many moviemakers seem to want to "misdirect" or "subvert expectations" that they just make a completely trash ending.
This has become my favorite youtube channel.I look forward to each new video, keep up the great work man!
That chair throw 😩 This seems like a movie that’ll be a cult classic in about 20-30 years 😂
As someone from Seattle, the portrayal of the Seattle police force in this movie is painfully accurate
I think this was an excellent concept for a horror movie, and if it was actually constructed better it could have been really interesting.
Honestly I’m glad I’m not the only one that felt this way it really felt like they just went here a bunch of stuff thrown together and released it like that just because
The whole time I just kept going “this is so bad.” Until the hysterical laughter of the demon arms flailing out of her back, of course
Amazing movie
Exactly, the the plot twist were good but the execution was just plain terrible seems like a movie that belongs on the sci fi channel
The wig alone was painful!
@@Edaf304 wrong
This movie had to many plot holes for me. I get camp and I love it but this movie felt like a mess for me. Love James Wan but this was a miss imo.
i didn’t even wanna go see this movie in the first place because i thought it was going to be another retelling of similar supernatural stories- in fact i was kinda annoyed at the constant barrage of advertisements i kept getting for it.
i like the change in direction, however. and honestly i kinda began to like gabriel as a slasher- his movements , his costume, his face, and origin are all fairly unique.
i’m always scared of horror characters moving in unnatural ways, contorting their bodies or like in annihilation the bear who mimics it’s human victims screams and cries of pain and agony.
seeing these qualities and features in this character are pretty cool.
This movie was soo much fun I loved it. The scene when Maddie tells her sister "Im adopted" had me in tears. The chair toss was also hilarious. I like to believe a good sequel will fix all the plot holes in terms of who Maddie's father is and the supernatural element.
This movie will be remembered as a fever dream 😅
The camera movement through the house is amazing after the first attack.
While watching the film I was telling my wife how I thought it was cool too....kinda reminded me of a video game
@@juancontreras9725 yeah exactly! It was unlike anything I’ve seen before.
Honestly, I liked how weird this one was. Didn’t know what I signed up for when I started watching lol
Love clicking on your uploads and seeing a longer playtime. Longer the better from this channel
I was waiting for this my dude! Thanks so much for the SPEEDY uoad. Alot of work goes into these freaking videos. Glad it's recognized.
I actually like the Ost/themes in this movie. I like when Gabriel is about to show up, they play humming.
I requested this ending explained in your last video and you delivered so quick. Thanks
The fighting scenes were amazing lmao
I've been looking forward to this 😍
just found this guy yesterday and he is one of my favorite RUclipsrs
Great job! I really appreciate your attention to detail and dedication to your channel :) Thank you as well for this service! I always stay tune for new Ending Explained :)
Ive BEEN waiting for you to upload this!!!
I love the VA for Gabriel in this movie, glad they went with an experienced one. (No matter how you feel about dub, Ray Chase did a great Sukuna. Who is Ironically Similar to Gabriel now that I think about it.)
YAY! I was so excited to see you do this movie! While I was watching it i was thinking "Found flix is gonna do a good ending explained on this one"
I’ve been waiting for you to cover this one!
THANK YOU for doing this one so early!!!
Oh my god that fighting sequence sent me into orbit. The chair getting yeeted to the two detectives was my breaking point.
1 video a week isn’t enough man we need you to do 10 videos a day 🙌🏾😂 best reviews
This video is back up! How wonderful, I'm so glad it ended up working out :)
The same day I watch this FoundFlix uploads it bet your ass I’m watching this
All I can say based on your intro is this, if you had the opportunity to direct your own film, would you? You seem to have an understanding of what people want to see and what is actually good. In my opinion, I think that you'd do a fantastic job at it. Hollywood needs to start looking a content creators if they want to produce things that people actually want to watch. Keep up the phenomenal work, and I hope that I can see a movie directed by one of my favorite content creators.
That's not how things work. Directing is mostly camera angles and telling people what to do, which I don't think he has professional knowledge on and wouldn't do very good. Only big name directors get to have creative freedom when it comes to the script, most of the time the writers will veto a directors change and just move on. 99% of the movies you watch nowadays have very little influence from the director.
Freelance script writing is a thing, and provides the most creativity put into a movie. Producers and executives basically control everything about a movie now, expect for big names like James Won.
See thinking you know what people want, and actually knowing what people want is 2 different things.
I think I know what people want in a video game because I spent my life playing them, but in reality it's just what I want to see and not every other person who plays video games.
Love this comment! I would 100% watch a foundflix original! At least start a shudder style streaming with all of his favorite picks organized by genre. I'd subscribe on day 1. He never steers me wrong
@@WatchingforaFriend but you might not like every single movie he suggests.
Also after watching his videos you don't need to watch the movie since he tells and shows you everything that goes on and explains anything confusing about them
If that were the case people would not be wanting unoriginal horror movies caked with cheapness and jump scares. As much as I’d like to agree, what people want is not as deep as we’d like it to be.
Listen, i JUST got out of seeing Puppet Killer and it broke just as many rules as Malignant but i loved it from start to finish. And i have trouble shutting my brain off to, but when i saw the main highschool gang were played by clearly over 40 actors, i coulnd help but love how they play it off
I totally disagree that her legal guilt is so cut and dry!
I'd love a courtroom drama sequel where they discuss the unique situation, because it WAS her body, but technically it wasn't her in control and it wasn't a demon it's a physical living thing. I'd be interested to see where they land on her innocence or guilt!
I would love to find more movies that go this far off the rails. So far the only one I can think of is Alucarda.
After this, all there is left is James A Janice’s “Kill count”
I freaking loved this movie. It was so bonkers and funny that it just worked for me lol. I love your videos! I will watch all the ads for you man haha! Keep up the good work
I just realized i watched every found Flix videos. I must be a fan
Man that detective really looks like a young Keanu Reeves
You literally come right on time!!!! EVERY TIME!
This movie was such a good surprise.It felt like mortal kombat meets the saw
Omg that's exactly how I described it to my brother when we watched it! A lot of the kills, especially towards the end, were straight up fatalities lol ☠☠
Glad to see its back
I seem to have very similar taste in movies to you and I was dying to see your reaction from this movie! I turned it off after 27 minutes but went back in after my friend told me to watch it like it was a "Halloween episode of Law & Order"
Ha!!! This is the ONLY way to watch Malignant. It all makes sense now lol
def thought it was more comical and over the top action feeling than horror. like you said it could’ve worked but for me it just didn’t lol
It worked for me. Once I realized it was an action film, I sat intently waiting for the reveal
I feel like I watched a 2 hour joke.... that wasn't that funny..
Malignant gives off MAJOR Italian horror movie vibes.
Like, this feels like the result of what would happen if Dario Argento or Lucio Fulci were to direct a modern horror movie.
You are Italian horror
Agreed. Lots of Italian horror tropes.
I watched this movie Saturday and been waiting for what feels like FOREVER for your review. This made my day
By the end the movie I honestly wanted it be another Brightburn. The origin story to a villain or maybe Anti-hero. Loved everything about it but seeing it as horror movie, I would say 7/10. Seeing it as origin story for an anti-hero 9/10. Anyone else feel the same?or just me? Either way i enjoyed it.
They literally said "We're going to cut out the cancer" and I still had no idea about Gabe was connected to her
Lmao same here but to be fair “cut out the cancer” is such a non-literal turn of phrase nowadays, like I said that when I broke up with my ex so it could’ve meant anything 🤷🏻♀️
Ngl the scene where they placed him in her body made me laugh a lot. Idk why like it was just so random like the whole time we could tell he was walking backwards but he had her under a genjustu 😂
This was a different type of horror movie, I definitely liked it. It was funny but the over the top action was pretty cool at times
We need a foundflix bluray collection video, watching it grow over the years was fun
Ooh you were quick with this one!
I’ve been waiting for this one😌
I've been waiting on this.😄
WHEN GABRIEL THREW THE CHAIR AND IT HIT THEM I LAUGHED SO MF HARD 😂😂😂😂
I've been waiting since the day this movie came out for your video!!! This is the first horror flicks i saw before I saw your video lol, it felt funny going in blind!
Comment contains discussion about domestic abuse:
He makes a comment about 9:20 something seconds asking how come she doesn’t just go on birth control and right away first thing that came to my mind is “he wont let her…” it can sound strange but a lot of domestic abusers will get to where they want to control everything about their victims body and something like birth control unless it was his idea: she could try lying and saying its for something medical but to him it would just come across as back talk. (This is all assumptions about the characters obviously but if he wants to try to pick a plot hole and it can easily be plugged up it should be.)
Thanks for making this point. That line seemed a bit flippant to me considering the real life issue is common and scary. Idk, but I’m glad someone else clocked it too.
I was just going to comment this. Not only that but even in the beginning she doesn't leave to get her head examined right away out of fear of even leaving the room and getting caught again. A lot of survivors will endure rather than putting themselves in a position that could get their abuser 'in trouble' or anything like that. She's clearly traumatized by her husband.
Abusers are skilled at breaking people to the point that they have almost no autonomy. I literally used to be scared of asking to go to the grocery store or calling family members. It’s wild.
Thanks for commenting this. When I heard that it didn't sit tight with me either. Given how abusive he is that clearly wasn't an option for her.
The boyfriend didn't want her to get pregnant but then he didn't want her to take birth control? As far as abusers go, that just doesn't make sense.
Thank you
You’re welcome
Man, I really love this channel
I loved this. I haven't seen you be this engaged and critical of a film in forever. I don't want someone to just narrate the movie, I want to see your insight. Please do more like this
Been waiting for this one!
Please do Demonic too.
perfect way to end a night, a horror ending explained
I love how foundflix points out all the crazy things that just don't make sense 🤣like I do that to everything and it's nice to know I'm not the only one that thinks "umm...go to the hospital you freak! there's blood everywhere, coming from your head!!!!" also his dad humour and editing is just *chefs kiss* always makes me laugh ❤
Been patiently waiting on this, I watched it and didn't understand the ending too well lol
A TUESDAY upload? What have we done to deserve this treat?🎉
been blessed
Cuz your special *boop 👃
Laughed my ass off with the mom fall and the super close to the cliff parquing shot.
Also p the matrix/the grudge and fucking tenet running away backwards scene
Hey man ya like grilled cheese??
I love this movie ! Psychological horrors are my favorite. Love your ending explained.
Yay it's backup we get 2 versions the Podcast version an this version!
I literally just finished watching the movie and typed in “Malignant review” hoping to see a video from you and here it is!!!! Perfect timing ✨❤️
i wish they kept Gabriel as a “figment of the imagination”
He shouldve been her dark side manifested supernaturally
Or a twin that was successfully removed but she refused to accept it (think goodnight mommy)
I don't, that's so much less interesting.
Too mainstream.
Gabriel backwards fighting impressed me alot
FoundFlix should def write his very own horror movie! I like his suggestions as to how to better the plot.
