Brightburn is the horror film that basically asks the question, what if Superman was evil? It's an interesting idea that has been explored in the comics but dials up on the visual effects and gore. Brightburn had an interesting pitch on paper, but in execution didn't really manage to explore its themes meaningfully. It was an entertaining horror film but did little to really think about what it is that motivates the characters, there are limited character development and unfortunately it makes such a character driven piece fall flat.
