The premise

Madison is paralyzed by shocking visions of grisly murders, and her torment worsens as she discovers that these waking dreams are in fact terrifying realities with a mysterious tie to her past.

Horror Vault's take

Madison begins suffering vivid, involuntary visions of brutal killings that feel disturbingly real — and soon learns they may be more than nightmares. As a pair of detectives close in on a mounting body count across Seattle, Madison is forced to confront a deeply buried secret linking her to the violence. Director James Wan unleashes a wildly inventive genre hybrid that rewards patient viewers with an unforgettable third act. Equal parts giallo thriller and full-throttle creature feature, Malignant defies easy categorization.
