Brightburn (2019)

Director: David Yarovesky

Starring: Elizabeth Banks, David Denman, Jackson A. Dunn

What if a child from another world crash-landed on Earth, but instead of becoming a hero to mankind, he proved to be something far more sinister?

‘Brightburn’ is one of those films I didn’t find particularly good (or special) and not all that bad either. The biggest problem for me was that I did’t find the acting all that convincing. David Denman looks more suited for a character in ‘BearCity’, and doesn’t really fit the horror-suspense profile. Jackson A Dunn is a good young actor, but the minute he puts on that stupid mask, he becomes a character I just don’t care about. 

The film had some very scary and suspenseful moments. Some scenes looked really low budget, while other scenes were incredible. At times the film gave me a sense of deja vu.  In general, this is a rather entertaining film that features some cringe worthy effects. (The scene where one of the characters breaks his jaw was really intense!!! ). It certainly was better than expected.

Would I watch it again? Maybe, after a while.
