If I remember right, the beginning set it up that way, too. Idk why I stopped looking at it like it was silly.

Probably because after that first scene, there’s an hour of complete snooze-fest before it starts to get good and schlocky again. It sort of feels like they purposely tried to lull you into thinking it’s another boring cookie-cutter James Wan special before he pulls the rug out from under you. Executed slightly differently, there’s a solid b-movie style horror comedy in malignant. As it is, I have to agree with you. Wack.
