Brightburn rated R for horror violence/bloody images, brief nudity, and language

Brightburn is Superman as a horror movie or evil Superman.  It stars Elizabeth Banks as Tory Breyer, Jackson A. Dunn as Brendan Breyer and David Denman as Kyle Breyer.  The title of  the movie isn't the name of the main character but rather references the town closest to where he lands on Earth.  Essentially this is an origin story although, as far as I know, it wasn't based off of an actual comic at the time that it was written and/or filmed. 

Don't think that because this comes from the producers of Guardians of the Galaxy that this is anything like either of those movies other than being inspired by comic books i.e. Superman.  If you go in expecting that you're in for a rude awakening.

The violence and bloody images could be a bit much for younger audiences and/or people who don't like viewing that sort of thing.  There is a very brief background image of full frontal nudity on a woman.

It is a very good movie as an alternate and very dark take on comics.
