“MALIGNANT comes out September 10th”
He went on to add:
“I finally wrapped it last week. This was supposed to be my “little horror thriller” I do between the big ones, but the pandemic pushed it as long as the big ones.”
Included in his post was a new teaser image for the film as well.
“I’m super excited for this film. I don’t even know how to describe it. I wanted to do something original and genre-bending, and different to my other work, but still in the spirit of the horror-thrillers I grew up with. More to come. #MalignantMovie”
An official synopsis has not been released yet but the film has received an R-rating for:
Strong horror violence, gruesome images, and for language.”
