Sarah from Weird Horizon returns (again) to do yet another cheery, pick-me-up film involving broken hands: Brightburn (2019), a horror-superhero film.

Discussion Points:

-Recommending films when you've never seen them.

-Sarah flirts with watching Reminiscence (2021) and Sean urges her not to give in to temptation.

-Sarah understands why Sean thought she'd like this.

-The strength of the Mam AND Dad characters.

-The power of a simple-yet-effective 90 minute film.

-The impressive acting of the film's young star.

-The end credits song choice.

-Sarah and Sean lament the issues around releasing 'The Last Voyage of the Demeter' (2023) in the UK.

Raised Questions:

-How did Sean convince himself that he'd seen this?

-How good is Rebecca Ferguson?

-Do some of the deaths in this film make Final Destination blush?

-Did you enjoy the small focus of the film?

-What else could the Mam and Dad have tried?

-Why do Sarah and Sean keep watching films with hand injuries?

-Did you appreciate the porridge transition?

-What would the inhabitants of a small English village do in this situation?

-Do horror films get reviewed fairly?
