The plot was really telegraphed and a bit rushed. I figured the mom would be the final girl and stab him with the ship...but he lived. Nice little twist.
I think the pacing was a bit fast but I enjoyed how graphic and in your face the gore was. I would have liked a third act of him killing more people.
Overall a solid low budget kino kapeshit horror

wheres the sequel gunn?
I liked the end credits scene.
I thought it lulled too much in the middle with nothing happening, and was kind of boring for most of it.
Only the ending was good.
I like how they played out how he was evil a bit more accurately to how a young boy would
>sexual curiosity with gore and organs
>obviously would try to rape and kill women he is attracted too
>acts out early against his father, the only male “competition” he views
one of the movies from this year that i find memorable
I didn't like that he was a relatively normal kid until the noise from the space ship suddenly made him evil. He should've been a little "off" from the start then grew more unhinged as his powers started to manifest.
The noise awakened him
a sleeper cell
>See the first teaser
>Hyped because it looked like an autistic and amoral twist on Superman, with Not-Superman slowly turning evil by abusing his powers without fully understanding what he was doing to people
>It turns out as SuperSlasher
Kinda disappointing thqhwy
>The daily reminder to never listen to Yea Forums for anything movie related.
This movie was utter shit.
There was a part at the beginning where they talk about the differences between wasps and bees in class and Brandon does an infodump about wasps being predators, I thought this was him revealing (to the audience) what he really was. Instead they did a lame sleepwalking scene just because it would be suspenseful and he got "awoken" by a red light.
I want a sequel.
This shit was forgettable trash.
waah i didn't like it
no one else will like it either then
A case of a potentially good idea ruined by bad execution. It could work better as a TV series with better, less edgy writers and better actors that have some chemistry for once. Think of what Amazon did with The Boys, improving on the source material and giving the characters actual depth. It could be like an R-rated Smallville, but without the teen soap opera element and with cool VFX, making Brandon's path to the dark side a slow burn with emotional impact.
Except the the idea is fucking stupid and there isn't enough story to sustain even one season. Nor would any show develop a kid to be sympathetic and then have him turn heel. No one would watch the second season.
>Nor would any show develop a kid to be sympathetic and then have him turn heel
He's a white boy. If they made his foil a black girl Netflix would pick it up in a second.
>It could would better as-
fuck off
Op here. It would be hard to write a show with this kind of character and not have a lot of creative control. Most people want simple motivations and feel good endings in American cinema. Horror can step outside this boundary a bit..and play with the rules, but people get restless for heroes.
Hannibal was pretty good at this, but it had the csi procedural to fall back on to root people. You'd need a sympathetic underground of resistance fighters who are working to uncover his origins, while BB basically slowly dismantles society ala tetsuo in Akira. You might need an adoptive henchman to humanize BB in the same way Genos humanizes One Punch Man.
I kind of like the idea of the mother being an evil queen who is kind of held hostage too, but I liked her death.
I think, also if you drive too hard into who he was as an alien it would take a lot of the mystery out. It would need to be slow. From the film it's obvious he was sent to control or take earth. It's also obvious that he saw himself as superior because of his power. I think the wasp scene was important here too (as an user said) and...as with the fate scene in Halloween 1978, it basically tells you the plot in miniature indirectly.
It's a race that doesn't make honey and is designed to kill to live. Kind of have the balls to play it as very bold science fiction.
It's an intriguing film that could have been a lot more but it's still pretty fun.
Why didn't you watch the trailer?
They should have made one of the cops a good alien sent there to find and stop him. That way, the mom could stab the cop in the back for hurting her "baby" and complete the cucked parenting trifecta.
It was a good film and left it with a decent set up to a sequel set maybe 5 years later, when he's a man and he's doing fucked up villain shit to cities.
It was too much like The Prodigy from a short while back.
>oi wot if superman was a dick mental innit
Charlie Brooker level subversion
it sucked
The Boys RIPPED OFF the up close laser eyes scene and still managed to be vastly superior even though it was a TV series while this crappy thing was a movie.
I just think the mask looks stupid. I get that he's a kid and he's trying to be edgy but even still they could've done better.
It looks like when I look down at my sneaker.
>I think the pacing was a bit fast
No OP
It was somewhat slow. Movie doesn't really happen until he murders his Uncle.
Let me rephase what you said:
>It could work better as a a medium where the impact, budget and actual pacing is horrid with very few exceptions.
No user. Most likely case would be a short first season, where they stretch out the entire plot of the movie into 2/3 of those. Which means every episode would quickly waste 20-30 minutes of their runtime, to keep the status quo from escalating.
It works for something like SG1 because all the pieces are setup by the movie. The rest of the show exists as a military subsidiary with heavy use of stock footage and advisers to keep the show grounded.
It also works for something like Smallville because there is material from 1938 and onwards to draw from.
I just want to see the day to day logistics of a demi god psycho trying to mass murder people and dealing with the army.
-wake up

-bulldoze right through

>-armour piercing rounds make you feel really itchy
Then your durability is equal to a WW1 tank, and you will die from the first artillery or missile thats fielded.
Not really a threat to civilization.
It was trash. Interesting premise with horrible execution.
It's just one shitty jump scare after the other, with shitty CGI
should have been more scenes with caitlyn
>with very few exceptions.
aha that's the point, aiming to be one of those rare shows where everything works, because as it is, Brightburn is just a less than mediocre horror film that fails at everything except cutting itself with all the edginess.
Remember the Buffy movie? A one-note joke (not even a "cult classic" or some overhyped shit like that) somehow inspired a TV show that still is talked about today, a legit pop culture phenomenon. So yeah, it is possible.
>inb4 Kristy Swanson was 10x hotter than SMG
hell yes, but the movie was bad.
is she in this thread right now
Was there an evil Batman in one of these?
>somehow inspired a TV show
Seeing how it was 1992 -> 1997, its more that the movie was eventually used to get a sponsor to run a TV series.
This is what happens when the writer( Joss Whedon) sees how bad the studio fucked up, but thinks his writing is actually good enough for more. And somehow manages to become the lead visionary to run the show, meaning he gets to do his vision.
Stargate parodies the normal TV show interaction of writer and director in episode 100 and 200. Its hilarious.
> Brightburn is just a less than mediocre
It understands how to build tension, while at the same time failing to use the hour of runtime for anything meaningful. Its a meaningful reverse horror movie.
Batman should be the one that stops them.
Well not-Batman would be Crimson Bolt.
Nah.
A mosqitoe will irritate the hell out of a boxer, but can take heavy weight punches like a champ. A punch would be a nuke for a mosqito.
A mosquito irritates because it pierces the ederma, and leaves behind toxic materials intended to numb the host while it sucks blood.
If a mosquito can pierce, then a megamosquito needle has no problem overkilling the boxer like if it was a gigantic lance.
So was this movie not related to DC?
Because they literally set up the crime syndicate/justice lords
It makes no sense that a studio would go this far to not have a tie in to pay it off
1/2
2/2
With the suggested videos in the credit scene
Mommy of his failed gf worked in his joint.

I mostly liked how they mixed alien imagery with satanic imagery. Not a fan of that dumb type of gore though. For me the best part of the movie was when they discover porn in his room, and every page the dad flips, the worse. It took a while, but the payoff for that one was terrific.
*the worse it gets
begone, autism
Inaccurate, jewtube doesn't show conspiracy videos anymore
Based Super reference.
yeah could've used more build up there.
lol i missed that
kinda surprised to see a mainstream movie show an alex jones type character as being right
I'm honestly bored with the whole "kid has powers and uses them for evil". Sure, it's still far less prevalent than "kid has powers and uses them for good" but it has been explored so many times already.
I wish they made something more realistic, where the superhero/villain settles down and has some sort of agreement with the government/governments about one not bothering the other. Fuck, it could make a good miniseries with the beginning as a vigilante do gooder, then slow corruption through power, slowly growing disregard for the lives of the inferior humans, then the dark years of genocide and war and then growing disinterest and ultimately a self-imposed exile.
