Brightburn

Brightburn (2019) is a Sci-Fi / Horror movie set in Brightburn, Kansas. The story is about a couple, who struggled to have children, then finds a baby after a spacecraft crashes. Being in the horror genre, you can probably imagine this is pretty much an inverse of Super Man. Elizabeth Banks (the mother) and Jackson A. Dunn (the boy) are great casting, but the casting overall is probably above average and isn't held back by the acting so much as the story. Unfortunately, the story develops slowly and becomes increasingly predictable as it goes on. The writers likely thought they had a sequel to build upon with, but instead we are just stuck with what should have been a small piece of a story covering many more years with an actual conclusion. It's not the worst Sci-Fi / Horror movie I've ever seen, but not one I'm really looking forward to watching again (unless it's the sequel).
