In this case, I feel, the movie didn't do enough with Brightburn. There is so much more depth into why he feeds on his anger. What drives him to rule and a glimpse of a past as to why he is here would have been interesting, that way, they could go anywhere in continuing the story line in a part 2.
Also, where the hell is a part 2? Why did not enough people see this movie?
Overall it was fantastic. Favorite part.... flying through the house, with the volume up high, or dropping mom.
Please make more, please more bonding with the villains feelings as at why.... No one makes a great "from- the - bad- guy" point of view series. Let's make this happen.

It is such a different show from when it first started, I am so glad they fully leant into the more comedic, and that 'not take ourselves too seriously' attitude because it has paid off.
This season looked a lot individualising episodes (whilst easily following the main arc too), paying homage to so many other shows and genres, and they always do it so well.
This show genuinely makes me laugh out loud, yet still has its own poignant moments, and touches on broader issues without forcing an opinion, it just occasionally makes you think.
I love the cast, they have fully embraced diversity, and I hope they will do more with this as time goes on as well.
What other show do you know that would take a fight scene and choreography it to a Sisqo song? Fantastic 👌

It was nice to see Kit confront her demons, and her mother. And she gained a father figure in return. And its amazing to see the group really come together and defeat evil, as cliche as that sounds. And Lucy!!! Plot twist of the century! I could never have seen that coming if her halo hit me in the face! The whole series was a rollercoaster and I literally didn't put my kindle down for 3 straight days! Work be damned! You get so enthralled in her life and you want to know what happens next, even now I need to know about kids and life after!
Tate is a fabulous author and an amazing person (I've met her, so i know its true!) I love all of her books. Check them out!

LeftSideCut (3776 KP) rated Intruder (1989) in Movies
Feb 19, 2021
Brought to life by several members of the team behind Evil Dead II, it's no surprise that this movie is equally as fun as it is gory. It's cast of likable characters drive the film for the mostly bloodless first half, with final girl Elizabeth Cox being a stand out.
When things do get gory, Intruder doesn't fuck about. The kills inflicted upon the main cast are pretty damn creative, and incredibly realised by fantastic practical effects courtesy of Robert Kurtzman and Greg Nicotero. The scenes not set in the main supermarket hall have a low budget and dimly lit Evil Dead feel to them, and results in a genuinely nasty atmosphere when coupled with the more violent moments.
It's a shame that Intruder isn't as widely hailed as some of its better known slasher contemporaries, for all of the above reasons.
