spoilers:

Even in horror, the bad guys USUALLY lose and the good guys USUALLY win in the end.

spoilers:

Yeah, but not always. Plus there was a moment when I thought the mom would actually succeed in stabbing the evil brat to death.

I could tell by the general tone and music cues that she wouldn't.

[Michael Watkins]

Eh, I wouldn't call that so much sad as basic horror movie tropes, but to each their own.

Was there a moment of happiness in the film?

The beginning of the movie before Brandon went cray-cray?

The beginning of the movie before Brandon went cray-cray?

Yeah seemed like a perfectly happy and loving family for those first eleven years. Damn alien puberty.

[Michael Watkins]

The beginning of the movie before Brandon went cray-cray?

right. so it's sad that this character pretty much died before the halfway point.

[Vakanai]

Was there a moment of happiness in the film?

I mean, hardly the first horror movie where that's the case.

yet you take issue with me calling it sad.

[Vakanai]

yet you take issue with me calling it sad.

I don't take issue with it - I wouldn't call "not happy" the same as "sad". I don't think anyone felt like crying, no tears shed. A lack of happiness is not the same as sorrow. But hey, I get what you mean now, it wasn't a happy horror movie. I'm not going to continue splitting hairs on word choices.

future films should feel free to poach from other superhero worlds, not just DC. Go way beyond that, why not? Especially since a "real" Marvel-DC crossover movie isn't happening anytime soon (or ever, according to the absolutists)

True, going back to that granddaddy of Bad End horror kid movies, The Omen.

A horror version of Spider-Man would be amazing.

I have a spoiler question:
Since this is basically a "what if Superman as a kid was evil" story, is there spoilers:

some equivalent of kryptonite in the movei?

A tie in comic for the original Spider-Verse event was a good setup for a horror Spider-Man. Of course it didn't take off like Spider-Gwen.

spoilers:

Kind of, what the ship he came in was made of could hurt him. It didn't weaken him by proximity alone but it could harm him like normal metal can hurt humans.

Which IMO
spoilers:

Was the only thing about the movie I didn't like because it didn't make sense to send your world killer in a ship made of the one thing that could kill him. At first I thought maybe it was just a case of it being like how adamantium can cut adamantium in marvel but the ship was still quite damaged in the fall to earth so it wasn't indestructible.

I really hope there is more from this setting.
