Brightburn - Son of Darkness

Kansas, summer, a farmhouse porch creaks, a couple's desperate prayers are answered with a crash in the woods. A child with an otherworldly origin grows, his smile hides something, his eyes gleam with an unnerving intensity. It's a superhero origin story turned on its head.
