'Malignant': A Fun, Wacky Horror with Feminist Undertones
Malignant is a roller coaster ride of slow-build scares, moments of wonderfully absurd camp, and explorations of autonomy.
The Seductress
Liza's husband becomes impotent after a physical altercation with a thief. Because he can't satisfy her anymore, he leaves and begs Liza to divorce him from afar through his lawyer. She doesn't give him the divorce because she still loves him, but in his absence, her friend's boyfriend forces himself on her, she has drunken sex with the rich kid neighbor who was initially stalking her, and has a one night stand with a guy she picks up in a bar when she got horny watching her maid and her gardener do it. Eventually, her husband comes back to his senses and calls her, telling her of his intention to get back with her. She is elated and fainted on the news. Her driver, who has been lusting on her for some time now, takes advantage of it and rapes her. With her dignity tarnished, will she be able to face her husband once he returns?
