The film is a gem, especially for anyone yearning for a superhero film that gleefully torches the familiar “good versus evil” formula and introduces far more sinister sensibilities.
Brutal and bludgeoning, David Yarovesky’s Brightburn is a film designed to knock the breath from your chest and subvert expectations.

This movie is amazing, I loved it. The way they made you view the movie as both the villain and the victim all while scaring you at the same time, and I didn't get scared of the jumpscares, I got scared at the fact of what he was doing, it also accurately displays what people would do in feat an overall amazing movie
Report
The movie is more or less all premise. The rest is just an occasionally suspenseful, occasionally gory sci-fi riff on any number of earthbound creepy-kid thrillers.
While not exactly original, the premise is certainly effective enough. But Brightburn lacks the visual stylization or wit to elevate it from the realm of the crudely effective B-movie.
A watchable but super-silly mix of superheroics and evil-child horror that mashes together singularly uninspired ideas from both.
When the end credits roll, it’s hard to decide whether the most appropriate feeling should be disgust, despair, or despondency. This is one of 2019’s worst films.
The way the film shuttles through its 90 minutes, it’s as if it’s been stripped of its most crucial narrative parts.
[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]
Report
Brandon has read way too much Berserk. Kid even ripped off the mark of sacrifice and qualified as an Apostle (for those who dont know about Berserk, i would spoil the movie). A pretty bland movie overall tho
Report
Takes a good premise and squanders it with one-dimensional characters and excessive violence. Unpleasant to watch. If you like ninety minutes of gore porn and terrified actors wandering around fields screaming “Brandon!”, this picture is for you. Everyone else? Avoid this dreck.
Report
Mhm no that, unfortunately, nothing. The idea is wiIt comes out quite well. There hasn't been an evil Superman so far. There is a strong lack of implementation. There are many lengths and the actors are miscast. The feeling just doesn't arrive.
