Brightburn

This is an interesting idea that I wish they had done more with.

Because the film that this broadside of brass describes is ultimately, seriously, "Duuuumb!"

This film draws its strength in part from its willingness to be a more humbly scaled operation than the tentpoles weighted down by mandates for billion-dollar grosses.

It leans heavily on jump scares and creeps before engaging with its premise, but when it does it's as chilling as Superman's freezing breath.

A cure for superhero movie fatigue, this lean, gory horror film...has a coherent narrative and pays off with a bang.

If the filmmakers had a modicum of curiosity about the implications of their own idea, the movie might have had something interesting to say.

A predictable yet entertaining, gleefully bloody exploration of evil finding its way in the world.

Maybe it has many issues, but Brightburn is exactly what horror fans ask for in this era of 'superhero infested multiplexes'. [Full review in Spanish].

Brightburn is an intelligently made thriller whose director, David Yarovesky, knows how to draw out dread with silence and turn it up to 11 only when necessary.

Full of gore, crazy deaths, and jump scares! Brightburn is absolutely brilliant. And that ending... a must watch for horror fans!
