Brightburn [Blu-ray] [2019] [Region Free]

Value for money

Rather like those occasional mirror universe episodes of Star Trek, this is a terrific tale of the boy who could be Superman but went bad. It's highly derivative of course - a childless farm couple rescue and adopt a baby from a meteorite, but the glowing remains in the barn that eventually call to him have a very different destiny in mind. Much scary/creepy/bloodthirsty stuff ensues, with more than a nod to The Omen as the innocent-looking boy creates havoc.Some nice nods to Superman - the scarlet blanket that could be a cape - and the whole Smallville feel of the community. It also tips a big hat to 70s/80s horror flicks, not least The Texas Chainsaw Massacre as another imperilled white female tries to escape a grisly end.I do wonder if there's a big in-joke at play - it's a film about a 'Bad Superman' named Brandon, in what may be a not-so-nice nod to Brandon Routh in Superman Returns.

the item is just the type off film i like watching thank you

A movie that mixes superhero movie style storytelling with horror, as it takes a different spin on a familiar tale.Said familiar tale is the origin of Superman. The infant Kal-El was found by the Kents, who raised him as their son and taught him good morals and values.So what if a child who arrived on Earth in a similar way started to go down the opposite route? Is it bad adoptive parenting to blame? Or is in his nature?Elizabeth Banks and David Denman play a couple who find and take in a child in the above fashion. They call him Brandon. He is perfectly good. Till he turns twelve. When strange powers start to manifest, and his whole personality changes. Is the world in danger, or can his parents save the day?This is an interesting idea but:It doesn't quite deliver all it could.It's not a slasher movie. Although nobody seemingly told the composer of the score, because the music is like the kind of score you would get in one of those. But it's not really anything about nature v nurture. Because it plays out very predictably, with an outcome you won't ever doubt. It's not a bad look at how parents handle problem children, but that has no bearing on the outcome either.And as it's an origin movie, it doesn't end so much as just stop. So you might ask, without seeing what comes next, what was the point?Do keep watching for a few seconds during the start of the end credits, because some extra scenes try to set up a sequel. The idea of which is brilliant. I would pay good money to see it. if it ever happens. But I wouldn't hold your breath for it.So without that, an ok watch, but not one you are likely to come back to or think about for very long.The disc has the following language and subtitle options:Languages: English, Italian. English audio description.Subtitles: English, Italian.It begins with some trailers that can be skipped via the next button on the dvd remote. Same for an anti piracy ad as well. Said trailers are in the previews section of the extras.Other extras:filmmaker's commentary.Nature v nurture: four mins of cast and crew eulogising the film, interspersed with clips, in a general overview of it.Creating a new super villain. Four mins about the main character. Clips and cast and crew eulogising the idea.Quick burns vignette social series. Cast member. Producer. Director. Doing the same as in the above. For one minute only each. These can be watched individually or all in a row.

a+

I thought it was a reasonable, creepy horror film. It got some negative reviews and there are certainly ways you can criticise it and maybe it's a three-and-a-half star film but overall I enjoyed it. The only thing I would criticise is that maybe the boy's character and motivation isn't really developed all that well. In an origin story you need something dramatic that defines the character's motivation but the kid transitions to pure evil for reasons that aren't really fleshed out in a satisfying way. Unseen forces, a bit of bullying? It's not really explained in a coherent or 'believable' way. It felt a bit light maybe at times but overall it's got enough horror story stuff going on to make it a decent watching experience.

A reinvented account to superhero horror based on one of my favourites which is Superman. Set in Brightburn in Kansas, a barren couple found a baby in a spaceship outside their Farmhouse. As Ten years passed, the nice boy named Brandon, exhibits personality alter and showed lack of remorse when he is hearing otherworldly voices from the spaceship at the barn to "take the world".Things took an unexpected turn.Better than I expected when they take a superman original plot and twisted it in asking us on what if Superman was Evil?This movie feels like a horror movie than a superhero one because it leans towards creepy atmosphere and suspense. Even supernatural like in approach. The special effects are excellent and the kills are even better than Pet Semetary and Child's Play remake that came out at the same year of 2019. Is it shocking? In a way they are, it is no Hostel or that sicko Serbian thingy but Brightburn is more decent and entertaining. I heard people whining about no character development or why is there no good inside Brandon who is the character that is the antihero? I felt for the characters and cared about them, Banks and Denham are believable and had chemistry, certainly likable people. There is enough character development for this movie than another rerun of Christopher Reeve shenanigans of finding a crystal and speaking to his parents in blocks of ice. As for the personality, it altered like a flick of the switch so no good in this boy left to express in his genes from another planet.The viewer does not have to be spoon-fed on the details but can create their own addition to this story.The plot is well paced, no dull moments with great acting, good subtle music score as well.Any negative points to the movie? I have a couple. I wish it was ten more minutes longer because I didn't want it to end and I wished I seen it on the big screen back in June 2019. What a fun ride. I will watch it again.

A good film

Really enjoyed this twisted and Dark look at the Superman story. I'd say it's more thriller than horror but do expect jump scares. Thoroughly enjoyed it

日本版に４Kが無いとのことでしたのでフランス版を購入しました。海外版を買うのは初めてだったので不安でしたが、いざ再生してみると全て日本語表記で国内版と何ら変わりませんでした。映画の内容は痛々しい描写等がありそういったものに耐性が無い方は避けたほうが良いかと。是非続編をお願いしたいです。

Great film and actor lm very happy with the seller and product

ケースが破損していた事交換お願いします

Enjoyed it. Was good, had a few jumpy moments. Liked the twist of what if a certain superhero turned evil instead of good. Recommend it.
