I just finished watching Brightburn less than 15 minutes ago and boy am I shook. It's a pretty scary and gory film and very unexpected.

It is produced by James Gunn from the Guardians of the Galaxy. Directed by David Yarovesky which has done another film called the Hive which I may check out after watching this.

I don't know how this film will do box office wise because a lot of movie going public want their superheroes flawed but not this flawed. The movie goers are still in the 'superheroes should be good' phase. This film definitely breaks from that. I mean, Jackson A. Dunn, who plays Bradon Breyer who plays the evil version of Clark Kent, is definitely super but not a hero. He is equally parts sweet, innocent then creepy. He is a very good actor and his transition from regular sweet boy to amoral and homicidal is very good. He can play both parts equally well.

I love the whole concept, the writing, the pace and the acting. The concept is original, basically along the premise of," What if Clark Kent/Superman was not a good person? What would he do with all of those superpowers?" The movie just adeptly applies the concept and although it is quite a scary movie, with a few jump scenes, great suspense and buildup.

Elizabeth Banks plays the doting mother really well. In fact, you can say that this is her story. David Denman plays the Dad and also does justice to his role. The film spends a lot of time building up their family history and their relationship. That is why it can be heartbreaking to see how their son's new-found powers affect their family.

I definitely love the film. It's scary, it's original. The supporting actors are really great. The movie keeps you at the edge of your seat and you don't know what is going to happen next. The ending is unexpected and well just jaw-dropping. In fact, there are really a couple of 'jaw-dropping' scenes here and that is sort of a hint. If you get my drift.

I would recommend this movie. It's a horror film that is heart-breaking and a film about family as well. Also, it asks a question of: can you really avoid your own destiny?

I would give this movie a 4 over 5 popcorns because I just love horror films. And this one, really kept me at the edge of my seat. Made me jump a few times. The storytellers just really pushed the envelope of what is acceptable in 'superhero' films. This is not your ordinary Superman or Avenger hero. This is along the lines of Damien.

If you love horror films. If you love gory films. If you love superhero films. If you love good story-telling and twist endings. This movie is for you.
