Malignant (2021) VS The Conjuring The Devil Made Me Do It (2021)


So the director of Malignant passed on Conjuring 3 to direct this trash... WTF.

Which one do you think ended up being the better movie?

The Conjuring 3 = 6/10 (inferior but at least it was watchable)
Malignant = 2/10

i haven't seen the conjuring film. i'll catch it at some point, no doubt, but every review and response i've seen tells me that i should feel no pressing need to get to it sooner rather than later.

malignant gets a billion stars from me.

i can't stop ululating over its greatness.

i can't remember the last time a movie made me that happy.

holy cow.

This was my ranking of Wan films. If I were to put Conjuring 3 in this list, it would between the two Insidious films.

1. Malignant
2. Conjuring 2
3. Death Sentence
4. Aquaman
5. The Conjuring
6. Insidious
7. Insidious 2
8. Dead Silence
9. Furious 7

Malignant is the better film. It's much more entertaining than Conjuring 3.

The Conjuring 3 = 7/10
Malignant = 8/10

The Conjuring 3 was OK at best but a poor sequel to the previous 2 and definitely the most underwhelming one in the trilogy.

Malignant was a wild, crazy ride that was entertaining af! Neither of them were scary, but Malignant easily beats The Conjuring 3 by a country mile when it comes to entertainment value.

You can't really compare them in a sense - it's apples and oranges even though they are both in the Horror genre. Conjuring is a more serious movie whereas Malignant was more along the lines of The Cabin in the woods - part scary, part funny, part action-packed, over the top and absurd but definitely very memorable.
