Brightburn
What if Superman… but evil? That’s the whole pitch—and honestly, it works pretty well. Brightburn is a creepy, violent twist on the superhero origin story. It starts off like a small-town drama, then quickly spirals into full-on horror.
The idea is cool, but the movie doesn’t go as deep as it could’ve. The characters feel a bit thin, and it rushes through some moments that could’ve hit harder. Still, the kills are brutal, the tension builds nicely, and the kid (Jackson A. Dunn) is genuinely unsettling.
It’s not perfect, but if you’re into horror with a superhero twist, it’s a solid watch.
