Brightburn
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?
Horror is central to Brightburn's identity: the film is built around fear, dread, and violent acts by a terrifying child, with atmosphere and horror imagery driving the experience. While it borrows superhero tropes, removing horror would undermine the core, making it clearly horror-oriented rather than primarily a conventional superhero tale.
Best for viewers looking for a scary and psychological horror movie.
