Brightburn

Brightburn (2019) is a sci-fi horror you can watch online on iFILM. What if a boy from another world crashed onto Earth and grew up to be something other than a hero?

Tori and Kyle spent years failing to have a child until a pod fell into the woods near their Kansas farm with a baby inside. They raise Brandon as their own. He's obedient, top of his class, never sick a day. Then he turns twelve and something switches on — backtalk, a flat unblinking stare, and power that no fence, no plea, and no bullet can stop. Elizabeth Banks plays a mother who refuses, far past reason, to admit her son is the threat rather than the victim. Young Jackson A. Dunn makes Brandon genuinely frightening precisely because a scared kid still flickers underneath.

This is the superhero myth turned inside out: instead of a kind visitor, a child who learns he can do anything and answers to no one. Producer James Gunn and director David Yarovesky keep it to a tight 90 minutes with no scene left to sag. Stream Brightburn (2019) online on iFILM.
