Malignant mixes Wan's signature jump scares and horror violence with a wild original story and surprising plot twists. The film pairs horror with a heightened, campy style and over-the-top gore effects as Madison and her sister Sydney (Hasson) try to stop Gabriel's killing spree. Known for the "Conjuring" universe and "Saw" franchises, Wan brings his horror credentials to craft an intensely frightening and bizarre elevated slasher.
