James Wan brings Aquaman special effects to the haunted house in Malignant trailer
The creepy crawly king is back with a stylish-looking horror movie that’s not in the Conjuring-verse

Over the last two decades, James Wan’s helmed some of the biggest movies in history, helping to build multiple cinematic universes and long-running franchises while also making classic haunted house stories cool again. However, while his profile has extended outside of horror, tackling the underwater world of Aquaman and the skyscraper-to-skyscraper driving mayhem of Furious 7, Wan’s still got his heart in things that go bump in the night. And honestly, it’s still what he does best.
By the looks of things, Malignant, Wan’s latest tale of suburban terror, trauma manifesting as demons, and whirling cameras, is a marriage of all his interests. Owing as much to his time in Atlantis as his time with Patrick Wilson’s family-focused haunts, Malignant promises a stylish, special effects-heavy horror movie.
