Another reviewer told you not to read the reviews as he's clearly friends with somebody that participated in this movie. I can only suggest you read all the negative reviews as those are the honest ones. All the positive reviews come from people with no other reviews, so don't need to explain you how that comes. Malady isn't a horror movie, the only horror is that it is a HORRIBLE movie. I can't imagine that the cameraman is really that bad. My guess would be that the director/writer is a little bossy dictator that obliged his cameraman to film everything as bad as possible. EVERY shot is out of focus or at least starts like that, everything that shouldn't be filmed in close-up is filmed in close-up, most of the time the camera is shaky, what makes me to believe that the cameraman has Parkinsons, the scenes are always too dark, or too close, or shot at worst possible angle. But the worst thing about Malady is the story, it's incredibely boring, I don't think it's possible to make it worse even if you tried really hard. The "shocking" finale, if you can call it that, is so predictable, I saw it coming somewhere half the movie. It's been done before, and much better, by Raphael Dethier, in his Belgian short movie "Martha" from 2010. If you can find it somewhere on the net I recommand you watch that one instead. At least you'll watch a good short movie instead of this absolute garbage. I watch three to four movies per day, so you could call me a movie buff, I saw a lot of stinkers but Malady is certainly in the top ten of that list of garbage to avoid at all costs. Maybe Jack James thinks it's art to film everything out of focus, in fact in filming everything wrong, bad lightning, bad sound, bad actors, bad story, and maybe his posh friends think the same, but believe me it's not art, it's the top of the crap.
