Dog’s Movie House: “Malignant” interesting but flawed James Wan horror film!
Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with a look at James Wan’s latest horror opus, a film called “Malignant.” The creator of such horror classics like “Saw,” “Insidious,” and “The Conjuring” has come up with an original tale that has a lot to like but takes a little while to get going.
