With "Malignant", while the horror of the core idea has merit, its reasoning and eventual use is so asanine that it becomes generally laughable at parts (which is not a look that the director of "Aquaman" should be having).

The aspect of connection is the fuel that permeates every being. "The Conjuring" as a series of films have always been about trying to understand that which at times cannot be explained. But the film themselves in their main form work best because of the two characters at the center and specifically the actors playing them.
