Brightburn - a review!
I have finished Brightburn a few minutes ago, and it's amazing!The story is pretty straight forward: What if Superman was evil instead of good?
The movie is produced by James Gunn, who is known from making Marvel movies, and it is a classic, no-nonsense, suspenseful horror film, with a lot of brutal imagery.
I will not go into a lot of detail here, because that will ruin the movie. Understand, though, that this isn't your classic feel-good movie, and it is super dark and depressing throughout the entirety.
Jackson A. Dunn plays Brandon Breyer, the kid known as Brightburn. He gives a fantasticaly creepy performance, and he is definitely someone you should look out for in the future. His parents, Tori and Kyle Breyer are played by Elizabeth Banks and David Denman respectively.
To give you an example on how brutal this film is, here is a scene from the movie
As you can see, it's a properly brutal movie, and if you are squeamish, then you need to give this a pass. If you are up for an amazing horror movie, with great practical effects, then watch Brightburn. I really enjoyed watching it!
9/10!
I look forward to the sequel!
