Tori und ihr Mann Kyle wollten schon immer ein leibliches Kind haben, doch ihr großer Wunsch ging nie in Erfüllung. Als in der Nähe ihrer Farm aber eine Art Komet einschlägt, scheint es, als habe das Schicksal ihre Gebete erhört. Denn darin befindet sich ein menschlich aussehendes Baby, das das Paar umgehend zu sich nimmt und aufzieht, als sei es ihr eigenes Kind. Zwölf Jahre später müssen Tori und Kyle aber feststellen, dass ihr Adoptivsohn Brandon anders ist als seine Altersgenossen. So scheint der Zwölfjährige nicht bluten zu können. Zudem weist Brandon immer mehr Verhaltensstörungen auf. Die Adoptiveltern müssen sich daher mit dem Gedanken auseinandersetzen, dass ihr Sohn ein außerirdisches Wesen aus dem All und daher unberechenbar ist…

    Would be better if they made a part 2

    An enjoyable "what if" take on an evil Superhero ala Superman. I wish there had been a sequel but it seems unlikely due to rights legalities. A fun popcorn watch.

    I can clearly see what they were going for, the execution was just a little off. It would be pretty easy for me to slate this film and tell you everything wrong with it... but in all honesty, I don't really want to. Done on an estimated budget of about $12M this film really didn't turn out too badly. I think this film suffers mostly from expectations. Having James Gunn's name all over your low budget film sets some pretty lofty expectations that in this case, simply weren't met. The story was fairly novel and the casting was pretty good. I think where it falls apart for me was the pacing/direction. I would really have loved to see a slower realisation of Brandon's dark side. Alas. Absolutely nothing to complain about on the Audio/Visual front. The use of special effects seemed fairly restrained and nothing stuck out majorly. The audio was actually fairly good with some nice tense moments in there.

    It was a fun, gripping movie from beginning to end. Had some decent jump scares along the way. Intertwined with a good story line along the way made it easy to follow. If your looking for a good movie to watch and not get grossed out by all the blood and gore, then this movie will be for you. I liked it.

    What would really happen if Superman came to Earth and hit puberty.

    There’s a steady sense of tension that keeps things interesting without ever feeling too intense. Some scenes move slowly, but the cast keeps it engaging throughout. Small twists and unusual moments give it a bit of bite without leaning into full-on scares. The visuals have a few clever touches, and light humor pops up to balance the mood. It’s uneven here and there, but the quirky energy and subtle suspense make it an oddly enjoyable watch.

    Pretty good overall, would have liked a little more story build up though.

    Good movie. You have to see it once

    An interesting take on an alternate Superman story. Great cast and special effects. Also the lead actor is very convincing at being alternatively friendly and a total psicopath. Well worth a watch.

    Written at a child's level but certainly not for kids. Perfect for adult children.

    That was fun! Anti-hero protagonist. We need more!
