Is it because Malignant softened the stony earth around your heart by throwing a chair at it?
I never said I hated that film. I've always simply pushed back hard and consistently and for the rest of my life against the idea that its any good. Because it isn't. The first half is a vaguely competent but completely redundant ghost story. The conclusion is a disaster. Nothing is remarkable about it, neither its successes or its failures. Mark my words, it doesn't live beyond its generation in any important way. I've said it once, I'll say it again, it is the milleniums Amityville Horror.
Malignant is at least....interesting in how annoying it is. It's nice that Wan went sorta ******* with a big budget film. But his tepid calculations towards what is ******* is what puts me off of that. There is something cynical about it. He's slumming and you can smell his refusal to actually get his hands dirty in its 'madness'. Ultimately he approaches it as softly and pointlessly as he does The Conjuring, and because of this, I find Malignant frustrating in many more ways.
I probably don't technically hate either, although I'm probably closer with Malignant (probably mostly because of the fudged potential). But Glass Onion is definitely tipping into the hate territory. And Babydriver is firmly in it. And, it needs to be mentioned, since it seems to miss my wrath much too often (probably because no one on earth likes it, so its no fun to attack it endlessly), Yesterday actually might be my least favorite film of all time. That is where all hate in the universe begins.
Yes, even worse than Babydriver
