Here are review links for this film submitted by our members:
- Andrea Chase @ KillerMovieReviews.com
- Excerpt: a 20-minute story stretched to feature-length with tedious swaths that may have been intended as suspense, but instead feel like so much padding to increase the running time
- Herman Dhaliwal @ Cinema Sanctum
- Excerpt: Arguably simplistic to a fault, but as a slasher film, it’s a lot of nasty fun.
- MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com
- Excerpt: Superman, but he’s evil. That’s the whole movie. This is a depiction of violent entitled sociopathy that may think it’s critiquing toxic masculinity yet is indistinguishable from a celebration of it.
- [New] | Jeremy Kibler @ The Artful Critic
- Excerpt: “Brightburn” takes a similar mythos of the Superman archetype and subverts it with a what-if premise for a bold, mean genre blend of superhero origin story and bad-seed horror.
- Frank Ochieng @ SF Crowsnest
- Excerpt: This is an ambitious attempt to merge the underbelly of the superhero craze with the ubiquitous broadness of horror but the whole misfire is as futile as Superman licking a Kryptonite postal stamp.
- Luiz Santiago @ Plano Crítico [Portuguese]
- Amir Siregar @ Amir at the Movies [Indonesian]
- Excerpt: Brightburn’ has a great premise but not enough thrills to wade through.
