Netflix fans have been swift to recommend one of the platform’s new additions – an ‘unhinged’ 2021 horror film.
The ‘absolutely insane’ movie comes from the same director as The Conjuring, Lights Out and Saw.
James Wan’s Malignant has been given a new lease of life by Netflix after its introduction to the streaming giant on November 27.
One horror fan posted on X in celebration: ‘Malignant is on Netflix! One of the most unhinged horror movies in years. So good.’
Another said: ‘IF you haven’t seen the horror movie Malignant, it’s now on Netflix and I fully recommend it. F***ing bats***, love it.’

Malignant tells the story of a young woman, played by Annabelle Wallis, who is ‘tormented by shocking visions of murder’ and ends up ‘face to face with a sinister entity from her mysterious past’.
Wallis’ character, Madison Mitchell, decides to try and save those who she has premonitions of being murdered.
One person described it as ‘absolutely insane and so much fun’.
But that is not it, there is also a shocking twist to the story which gives it an extra element on top of the classic ghost story which it originally seems.
‘The first film I recommend to anyone that wants a good horror film to watch is Malignant,’ another Netflix viewer commented.
‘The absolutely bonkers reveal in this one, along with it turning into a legit action film, was incredible!’

Someone else described it as ‘very weird but good and refreshing’.
This is not the first resurgence the thriller has enjoyed this year – it was introduced to Amazon Prime Video in June, and newcomers to the movie were similarly impressed by it then.
One said: ‘The movie offers a twist that’s so ludicrous I simply had to applaud it.’
Malignant has a Rotten Tomatoes average rating of 76 per cent, highlighting ‘memorably bonkers twist’ despite it not being ‘particularly scary’.
