This anti-Superman horror posits the question of what would happen if the child sent from another planet happened to go psycho once he hit puberty. Plus Jackson A. Dunn plays the part perfectly going from sweet boy to stone-cold creepy kid in equal measure. While it could have done more, it plays well enough - and doesn't wimp out in the end. Oh, and make sure to stay awhile post credits for an excellent Michael Rooker cameo that is too good to miss.

While attempting to subvert one genre, "Brightburn" crashes into a different one. This transgressive take on a Superman-style origin story downplays its premise as yet another predictable demonic child picture with clueless parents.
