Brightburn (2019)
8/10
Refreshing take on superhero genre
6 December 2019
I've never been very interested in superhero movies for some reason, and I initially had no plans to watch this one, thinking it would be another origin story with dark moments. This movie is purely a horror movie, not just a cash-grab. I'm sure if the creators want, they can expand the universe (which I would be interested in seeing), but it isn't the same story we've seen over and over again.

What I enjoyed was seeing what could happen if a superhuman had no good intentions, and there wouldn't be another superhero to swoop in and save the day. The buildup was good and it fell into place.

I saw someone on imdb said the movie wasn't gory; this movie isn't a splatter-fest, but the few gore moments that are in it are intense. This is not a movie to show young kids.
