After a fairly lengthy and social media drama fuelled
fiasco, filmmaker James Gunn appears to be back in action and at full force. Not
only is he returning to Marvel for the next Guardians Of The Galaxy entry as
well as snagging the next Suicide Squad movie for DC, he has also given his
blessing and a production credit to today’s film, a superpowered horror flick
written by James’ brother and cousin that takes a look at a familiar superhero
origin story and twists it on its head into something worthy of horror. I’ll
admit that I was very hyped to check this one out, seeing it as the re-entry
point for a creative mind who got into the alt-right’s line of fire, but as
I’ll get into, the results are more muddled than they should be.
