Review of Brightburn (2019) by Rox22 — 04 Sep 2022

In a nutshell: what if Superman became a psycho when his powers first materialised. No matter how they change the names, this is just evil Superman origin story. With that said, it's barely okay. The plot is predictable and the delivery is about on par with any generic horror movie. No performances of any note from any of the actors and character development relies far too much on people's familiarity with Superman. It's an interesting idea that just fails, in my opinion. Without the Superman mythos behind it, it wouldn't make much sense. On its own it is at best a forgettable horror movie.

Overall:

A below average horror that can't seem to decide if it's a dark parody or a well made deliberate rip-off cash grab.
