If Malignant hit the spot, these will too

Both are working the same pair: murder, serial killer

Both land dread and unease at once
The difference: Sits closer to fantasy than Malignant does

The same hand behind both of them: James Wan
The difference: The scrappier of the two with critics

Both lean on twists more than on horror
The difference: Takes it somewhere less dreamlike than Malignant does

Both are built on the same subject: dreams
The difference: Made in the 1980s, in a different era of the craft

The same preoccupation in both: gore


One thread runs through both: monster

Mystery with a pulse of dread, in both cases

Unsettling horror in both cases

Mystery built on twists, twice over

Dread-soaked horror, and it commits to that
