now if you have not watched this film, i want you to close your eyes (not literally otherwise you wouldn’t be able to read) and imagine…… a couple finds a boy from some unknown planet arriving in their backyard, adopting him. as the kid grow they realise the kid is different from other he has super powers but also a mean attitude that makes him do bad things………

now if you tell me that sound minus that last part like superman, i would say yes that’s exactly like that. well congratulation what u imagined is the film primes of Brightburn (2019).

i was recommend this film so, did it live up to that simply put NO but its still a fun concept mix of horror and superhero genre is pretty fun has potential, but the film just falls short to make itself memorable enough other than the premise i mostly wont remember much about this film in the coming weeks and that just says to me the lack of execution to the fullest potential of such a idea.

the fact that the film takes and paces itself as a origin story for this future villain/bad guy, allows the film to utilize our exposure and knowledge of the Superman origins with a different take, the film still pulls itself back from going all in into the gore and horror using as just a salad dressing that main course and this withdrawal does diminish the final product.

101 movies down……..399 to go

see you soon
