I’ve gotten bad service in a restaurant before, but I usually just leave a small tip. I do not frost over the windows and scrawl bizarre symbols all over them, shatter fluorescent lightbulbs, gouging my server’s eye out, then chase her down into a walk-in freezer and rip off the door. So whatever preceded this Red Band/NSFW clip from horror movie ‘Brightburn’, must have been some REALLY bad service.

‘Brightburn’ was directed by David Yarovesky, with a screenplay by cousins Brian and Mark Gunn, and turns the Superman mythology on its head, and not in a cute Bizarro kind of way. This film follows an extraterrestrial boy (Jackson A. Dunn) who was adopted and raised by a well-meaning country couple, Tori and Kyle Breyer, played by Elizabeth Banks and David Denman. But something goes wrong, as this not-so-super boy, who they named Brandon, is a far cry from the savior Clark Kent.
A lot of the footage in the scene below has been shown in the trailers, but here it is unedited, which helps increase the suspense of the scene. Once again, this is NSFW, and is a little gory, so proceed with caution:
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? With Brightburn, the visionary filmmaker of Guardians of the Galaxy and Slither presents a startling, subversive take on a radical new genre: superhero horror.
‘Brightburn’ was produced by Brian Gunn’s brother James, director of the ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ movies. James previously stated:
“Brian and Mark were talking about doing this new take on the superhero myth. It was a creepy, scary, almost independent-movie-type script. We just kept bashing this thing out for about six months, eight months before we got the script to a place where we thought, ‘Yeah, let’s go make that.’”
‘Brightburn’ kicks summer off with a shudder on May 24.
