Brightburn (2019)

A couple who wants children finds an answer to their prayers, when an alien child crashes on their land, in a meteorite.

A horror movie about an anti-Superman. The tension is well maintained and well executed, the child's emotional involution is well portrayed and the terror and doubt of those who love him makes sense. What is unpleasant, perhaps, is the abruptness of the child's emotional change and the hopelessness and emotional emptiness that is suggested, especially given the contrast to the same character at the beginning of the film.

Director:  David Yarovesky     
With: Elizabeth Banks, David Denman, Jackson A. Dunn, Abraham Clinkscales

Rating: 7/10
