The struggle to understand one's identity can lead to terrifying revelations about the past that challenge the very nature of reality.
"Malignant" is a visceral journey into the depths of trauma and identity, where haunting visions blur the line between reality and madness. With its relentless suspense and striking visual style, this film invites viewers to confront their darkest fears and the legacies of their past.
Twenty-seven long years after the brutal Simion Research Hospital incident, abused Madison wakes up in a hospital in present-day Seattle. But with numbing visions of murder getting in the way of a normal life, more and more, Madison's obscure past emerges, baffling both herself and the local detectives. Are these explicitly violent killings figments of Madison's troubled imagination? Either way, someone, or better yet, something, links the past to the present, demanding closure and blood. Is the bogeyman real?
