The trailer for James Wan's new film "Malignant" is guaranteed to draw everyone's attention. Bright red and with a knife at the ready, they seem to want to hammer the name into us, and following the laws of the Giallo film, which James Wan (Insidious and The Conjuring) commemorated with «Malignent», that would basically only be logical . Because here is slit and stabbed like crazy! No wonder: the giallo is considered the forerunner of today's slasher film and thus iconic representatives of the genre such as Jason Voorhees or Michael Myers, was created by Italian filmmakers such as Mario Bava or Dario Argento and classics such as "Bloody Silk" (Sei donne per l'assassino) from 1964, "The Cat of Nine Tails" (Il gatto a nove code) from 1971, Dario Argento's "Profondo Rosso" or "Four Flies on Gray Velvet" (Quattro mosche di velluto grigio).
And like slasher films, there are certain rules that run like a thread through the genre. The killers always wear gloves, the murders are portrayed in a particularly drastic way and are carried out using pointed objects (small knives are preferred) or other Giallo-typical tools (such as choke nooses). The high crime impact, use of light and shadow, colors (especially in the Argento films) and thriller influences are formative elements that almost all Giallos have in common. An opportunity for Wan to go back to his own roots in the genre. Before he turned his attention to his next big blockbuster, the upcoming "Aquaman 2" with Jason Momoa, he really wanted to make another intimate genre film that didn't use much (if any) CGI or other artificial aids.
A return to the hard-hitting, hand-crafted horror of its debut, SAW's nearly twenty-year-old Jigsaw opener. And he seems to have succeeded, as the R rating for "massive violence and horror, disturbing images and language" proves. However, the release of "Malignent" was delayed by the corona crisis for so long that the supposedly small project ended up being something much bigger. "I wanted something original and transgressive that felt different from my previous work, but captured the spirit of the horror thrillers I grew up with," says Wan, who has remained silent about his film's villain. His heroine, Annabelle Wallis, known from «The Mummy», «Annabelle», has suffered from ominous visions since childhood, so she doesn't really know whether the pursuer and the attacks are real or just exist in her head. With us "Malignant" has no start date, in the USA it should be on September 10th, both in the cinema and on the Warner streaming service HBO Max.

"Dravens Tales from the Crypt" has been enchanting for over 15 years with a tasteless mixture of humor, serious journalism - for current events and unbalanced reporting in the press politics - and zombies, garnished with lots of art, entertainment and punk rock. Draven has turned his hobby into a popular brand that cannot be classified.
My blog was never designed to spread news, let alone get political, but with current affairs I just can't help but capture information here that is otherwise censored on all other channels. I am aware that the design page may not seem "serious" to many in this regard, but I will not change this to please the "mainstream". Anyone who is open to non-state-compliant information sees the content and not the packaging. I've tried enough to provide people with information over the last 2 years, but quickly noticed that it never matters how it's "packaged", but what the other person's attitude towards it is. I don't want to put honey on anyone's mouth to meet expectations in any way, so I'll keep this design because hopefully at some point I'll be able to stop making these political statements, because it's not my goal to go on like this forever
