From James Wan, the director of Saw, The Conjuring, and Insidious, comes a brand new evil in Malignant, an upcoming horror film scheduled for release on HBO Max and in theaters later this year. While Wan hasn’t directed a Conjuring film in a while, he is considered the architect of the successful film universe.
Wan adapted the story from a screenplay by Akela Cooper based on an original story by Wan, Ingrid Bisu and Cooper. It stars Annabelle Wallis, Jake Abel, George Young, Jacqueline McKenzie, and Mckenna Grace.
