Malignant | September 10 2021 | A James Wan Horror Joint

[Blaze Heatnix]

No new release date yet? Has WB forgot this movke?

 

Even the Conjuring 3 got a new release date. What's going on with this?

Trailer should be out in the next hour or so I think.

So weird. I was just thinking earlier if this was moving as it didn’t have a UK release date. 
 

A few hours later there’s a poster, Twitter emoji and a trailer imminent. 
 

UK release date is 8th September. 
 

Love the poster.

Not exactly what I was expecting but it looks like a fun time. Wan's funhouse of horrors is usually solid.

[ThomasNicole]

Looks fun

 

I remember @ViewerAnon (i guess) saying test screening for this was a disaster

 

Seems like James Wan shot some things after that, so i hope he manage to fix the movie

That poster fucks. Can't watch the trailer yet but I'm looking forward to it.

[Lucas]

Oh man the poster looks way better than the trailer. Some neat stuff but it looks like a general forgettable horror film, and that's probably what I would expect if I didn't know James Wan directed it. Hopefully there's something to it, but yeah, I remember those ViewerAnon tweets.

[ViewerAnon]

Even I have to admit that’s a cool poster.

Did it get bad responses at the test screening because its a faithful giallo (which would be divisive/not play well to general audiences) or is it just bad?

[DAJK]

Looks pretty solid imo. I'll watch it.

Hard to say. Obviously most people who see it won’t be familiar with giallo but I know it was heavily jeered during more than one screening on the WB lot.

[ThomasNicole]

Maybe just didn't click with audiences on test screenings, because i just read an Interview with Wan saying that this movie doesn't have jump scares, doesn't have much in common with his other "horror movies", have a hard to define genre, and confirm his inspirations on De Palma and Argento.

 

He also confirm the lack of informations is because he request the movie to be released without reveal much.

 

Maybe the problem isn't the movie itself afterall, it's just a different approach less commercial and the audience didn't click with it.

[Valonqar]

Parts of it resemble The Ring.

[Krissykins]

Oooh this looks great. As usual I started looking away because I got the impression they were showing a lot. 
 

This could do well in September. 4 weeks of no direct horror competition. 

[Lucas]

Wan is great in that IGN interview.

Do we know, when the premiere is going to be? Or when we can expect opinions or reviews?

Considering Warner pattern this year, probably VERY close to release.
