A science fiction horror in which a couple find their adopted child has sinister powers.
This ain’t your father’s homicidal pre-pubescent Superman riff!
Elizabeth Banks brings real intensity to an otherwise middling, James Gunn-produced superhero horror.
Its twisted take on Superman’s origin story dabbles in our modern obsession with superheroes, but all we get are stray thoughts instead of a fully formed idea.
This violent tale of a boy with malevolent powers struggles to impress in a Marvel-dominated genre.
Crossbreeding superhero tropes with horror staples was an idea laden with promise. Brightburn is enlivened by trademark James Gunn black comedy, but hamstrung by sketchy writing and a botched sense of dread.
