Critical popcorn

Ever pondered over what would have happened if Superman was actually evil and landed on Earth with very different outcomes? Well, I think Brightburn should be right up your street and it comes with a really atmospheric first trailer, just released by Sony Pictures.

Brightburn is written by Mark Gunn and Brian Gunn, Directed by David Yarovesky and stars Elizabeth Banks, David Denman, Jackson A. Dunn, Matt Jones and Meredith Hagner, it’s also produced by James Gunn and Kenneth Huang, here’s a little official synopsis and watch the trailer right below…

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?

With Brightburn, the visionary filmmaker of ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ and ‘Slither’ presents a startling, subversive take on a radical new genre: superhero horror.

Brightburn will open at cinemas across the UK and Ireland on May 24, 2019.
