10 Tiny Horror Movie Details That Give Away Character Secrets
8. The Medical Notes - Malignant
2021's Malignant is guaranteed to mess with your head, which is apt because people's heads play a huge role in the narrative.
It's about a woman named Madison, who's actually a woman named Emily, who actually has a man named Gabriel sticking out of the back of her head. Look, it's complicated, okay?
Basically, Gabriel is Madison/Emily's murderous parasitic twin who is awakened by a head trauma that she suffers. He is then able to take control of her body and go on a killing spree.
It's a really unique twist and leads to some great moments of Madison/Emily literally fighting with herself to stop the rampage. Clearly director James Wan was keen for everyone to know about screenwriter Akela Cooper's brilliant idea, as he basically gave it away in the film's opening credits.
Said credits take on the form of various medical notes which, if you look at closely enough, show information about Gabriel, as well as the concept of two heads sharing a single body.
This giveaway is so subtle that you wouldn't even notice it. Well, you would now that we've pointed it out to you. Did we just ruin this film?
Oops.
