Here’s the official description of Malignant Man:

I love the idea of “an evil army buried beneath society’s skin,” setting up a scenario where anyone could be infected with this terrible enemy. And though the description describes Malignant Man as a “sci-fi thriller,” to me it sounds more like a horror-based superhero film. Certainly the idea of the enemy being below the skin conjures images of peeling, scalping, etc. James Wan famously said he’s done with horror but he obviously can’t totally get away from the violence and scares that made him such a massive success.

Alan Gates, a cancer patient with a terminal diagnosis, is resigned to his fate…until he discovers that his tumor is actually a mysterious parasite! Granted a second lease on life and incredible, otherworldly powers, Alan must fight against an evil army buried beneath society’s skin, all the while unlocking the secrets of his forgotten past. Dark, twisted, and unique, MALIGNANT MAN is a sci-fi thriller that can’t be missed!
