Alien at the Movies

This is not a sneak preview. This film has already released.

What if Brightburn, Kansas, was an alternate universe version of Smallville from the “Man of Steel”. When Tori & Kyle Breyer (Elizabeth Banks & David Denham) have trouble conceiving, their prayers seem to be answered by a gift from above; rescuing an alien baby whose spacecraft crashes on their farm. They name him Brandon & raise him as their own. However, as he reaches 12 years old, his superpowers reveal themselves & things get sinister. Banks is terrific as the doting overprotective mother in denial. Denham is the suspicious parent. The people of Brightburn are the bloody victims. Brandon Breyer is down right creepy when someone crosses him. If you like your superhero tales dark & gruesome, you may enjoy this horror twist to the Superboy genre.

Alien gives it 3 “uncontrolled vengeance” stars out of 4.
