(HORROR) Malignant - 2013 ***


'Malignant' isn't the run of the mill horror movie. It's got certain ingredients in it that are quite original. 
A young man grieving the death of his wife takes up serious drinking. That's bad enough, but when he wakes up after a particularly heavy night of drinking he discovers a videotape showing him murdering someone - and he doesn't have any memory of it at all. It's a bit of a moral tale - someone controlling him in a terrifying experiment designed to control his over-excessive drinking. Every time he drinks, he murders. 
It's rather gripping, and you can't help finding yourself torn between whether you sympathise more with the man or the murdering lunatic. Bottom line, drink is NEVER the answer!
