Here's the boardroom pitch for this movie: He's Superman, only he's a bad guy! Isn't that just "Man of Steel"? No, it's a horror movie! Isn't that just "Man of Steel"? No, this has a lot of gore and no character development to speak of. Oh ... sure, why not? It'll also be like "Stranger Things", only set in 2016, so the deliberately retro touches will be confusing. Wait, why do we want to make this?

This is a cool premise that you can really dig into: there's a lot of questions you can ask about pop culture's fascination with superhero mythology, the psychology of adoption and parenthood, puberty/growing up, sociopathy, etc. Unfortunately this movie is content with "Superman but bad!!!", getting by on some cool sequences and a good Elizabeth Banks performance but not much else. A real disappointment that leads you to wonder why they even bothered if they didn't have anything to say with it.

Cheap, predictable, it does only the bare minimum it must to be considered a movie. This is so by-the-numbers you wonder why anyone bothered.

I struggle to take the premise of this movie seriously and in execution, it's equally as laughable. We're given no reason why Brandon turns evil beyond him inherently being that way, the Superman symbolism comes across as laughable and lazy, the attempts at jump scares come across as more funny than scary, and the costume looks retarded. This movie is god awful, but I hope it creates an expanded universe where I can continue laughing at these tryhard edgy attempts at "superhero horror."

A satire without the comedy. Lots of fun moments.

It's an interesting concept, the performances are great and it's choke full of references and homages, both subtle and overt. It suffers from a repetitive nature, but it holds through.
