Looks pretty awesome, no? Brightburn is the perfect example of a film that looks like it is attempting to blend superhero appeal with horror movie tropes… in a good way… in a really, really, really good way. It feels like it is going to be a breath of fresh air and a direct response to the avalanche of superhero movies audiences have been getting for over a decade.
They’re taking the appeal of showing a character with super- (strength, speed, laser eyes???) and turning it on its head by adding a horrifying atmosphere. What if Superman was evil to the core? What hope would anyone have fighting against him? Amazing premise.
