[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Malignant?
Director clearly thought Malignant was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

Hot Take: Malignant's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Just got out of Malignant and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Malignant actually is?
Everyone praising the Malignant performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

Rewatched Malignant last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.
