I almost didn't give this a shot. Have been considering watching the modern "Firestarter" movie. A reviewer on another site suggested that Brightburn was better. I don't watch trailers, as they tend to destroy movies (for me). I prefer a brief description, and perhaps the leading cast.

Camera/video effects were more than acceptable, acting was acceptable, the gore was a welcome surprise (lol), and the story was certainly more than engaging enough.

I'm not sure what I was expecting. I do prefer to go in fairly ignorant. At less than 90 minutes, it felt a little rushed. But for some, that might be the sweet spot for such a flick. I could definitely see watching this again. Probably in the near future! And I'm definitely interested in a sequel!

Nicolas cage not speaking, stood out like a sore thumb. I guess it's understandable why, and I made it through the entire movie. Wasn't expecting much, but the low star reviewers prepared me. I've certainly seen worse.

I gotta say, this was pretty original. I haven't seen anything quite like this one before lol It has mild humor, quite a bit of gore and action.

Go in expecting a flop, and you just might enjoy it. Hey, it's under 90 minutes. What've you got to lose? I've liked several of Nicolas Cage's recent movies, so I had to see this one.

Kept my attention. That alone should say something.

As a mild agoraphobic, I couldn't help but sympathize with the lead role. The Director/writers definitely got me. I really felt for the main characters.

Not the best romance I've ever seen, but for a low budget released/filmed during covid, I gotta say "Hats off."
