One horror fan posted to X in celebration: “Malignant is on Netflix! One of the most unhinged horror films in years. Awesome.’
Another said: ‘If you haven’t seen the horror movie Malignant yet, it’s on Netflix now and I highly recommend it. Damn bats***, I love it.”

Malignant tells the story of a young woman, played by Annabelle Wallis, who is “tormented by harrowing visions of murder” and “comes face to face with a sinister entity from her mysterious past.”
Wallis’ character, Madison Mitchell, decides to try to save those she has a premonition about being killed.
One person described it as ‘absolutely insane and so much fun’.
But it isn’t, there is also a shocking twist in the story that gives it an extra element on top of the classic ghost story it originally seems.
“The first movie I recommend to anyone who wants to see a good horror movie is Malignant,” said another Netflix viewer.
“The absolutely crazy reveal in this movie, and the fact that it became a legitimate action movie, was incredible!”
Another commenter referenced the film’s unique plot twist, saying, “The absolutely crazy reveal in this movie, and the fact that it became a legit action movie, was incredible!”
Someone else described it as ‘very weird but good and refreshing’.
This isn’t the first revival of the thriller this year; it was launched on Amazon Prime Video in June and newcomers to the film were similarly impressed.
One said: ‘The film offers a twist so ridiculous I just had to applaud it.’
Evil has one Rotten tomatoes average rating of 76 percent, with an emphasis on “memorably crazy twist” despite not being “particularly scary.”
