10 Movies You Weren't Supposed To Take Seriously

Of the many barmy offerings ushered into cinemas during the pandemic age of moviemaking, few have matched James Wan's 2021 memorable Malignant when it comes to mixing an outrageous concept with routinely graphic horror.

But for those entering theatres preparing themselves for a film in the same vein of Wan's other recent efforts in the likes of The Conjuring series or even a film skewed towards franchise building in the likes of the Fast series or Aquaman, Wan had a few surprises up his sleeve.

In wanting to stretch his horror muscles, the horror-maestro conjured up the darkly hilarious tale of a woman whose visions of murders happening in real-life end up having some rather unforeseen origins. Equipped with her teratoma twin bro living inside her skull, Annabelle Wallis' Madison sets out popping crowds left, right, and centre with some of the most riotous murder sprees you're ever likely to see on the big screen.

If you're looking for a slow-burn horror that chips away at your innermost insecurities and keeps you up at night, you may have come to the wrong place. But for a new spin on the phrase, "it's all in my head", Malignant is the gift that keeps on giving.
