The movie Malignant came out September 10, 2021. Malignant was directed by James Wan and he also directed the Nun, Saw, Annabelle, Dead Silence, Insidious, and the Conjuring movies. This movie was about a pregnant woman having psychic visions about scientists getting killed. She was born with a parasitic twin attached to her and the surgeons removed it, but the parts they could not remove were pushed in her head further, and the surgeons had to put her skull back together.
In the beginning of the movie she and her boyfriend were fighting and he banged her head into a wall which made it start to bleed. He ran out of the room to try and find something to help with the bleeding but she locked the door. I think this was a good way to start the movie as the viewer is learning as the main character is learning due to her forgetting about her parasitic twin. At the beginning you think they are two different people, but they show it is a parasitic twin attached to her, tricking her brain to make her think she is living a normal life. Her parents tell her that her birth mom is dead but her mom was revealed in the end to have been alive. Part way through the movie, her twin ends up trapping their mom in her attic. I think this part was very confusing because the daughter and the mom actresses look very similar. I thought it was her in the attic but the next scene was of her doing laundry.
I have not seen a movie like this one. It was different because you could not fully understand it unless you watched the whole thing. If you want to keep watching the movie and find out more, you can watch Malignant either in theaters or on HBO Max.
