Yeah saw this trailer the other day. Looking forward to it, the origin of Superman as horror should be pretty cool.
The Possession Of Superman? Excorcism Of Clark Kent?
Looks pretty decent.
The last few seconds. 
Superman as serial killer? I'm in.
They really didn't need to rip off man of steel as much as they have though. We get it, no need to copy it to the exact same font on the credits! Let's hope General Zod is a good guy this time..

I don't like horror films I'm a bit sensitive to stuff like that.
Think I might brave this one though after a few beers.

This looks great to me, I can't wait
Looks OK. Not the most original premise but will give it a watch.
Looks like a really cheap thrill but I'll definitely watch it since the premise is too fun to pass up on.
I can already see a predictable ending though, a mothers love causing him to let his guard down, then kryptonite to the face and it's all over.
Hope I'm wrong though

Will watch it with a litre of Kryptonite by my side.
Did most of the people here watch this? Only just watched this over the weekend. It was 'entertaining' but I reckon there was so much more they could have done with this. Im glad they didnt go with the predictable ending with the mother.
The kid did a decent job of playing an emotionless person once the turn happened.

I thought it was pretty good and quite enjoyable - it did feel like a missed opportunity to take what was a really cool idea and make it into a really great movie.
Saw this in the cinema a few months ago. Was pretty ordinary. Feel like it just got excessively bloody for no real reason and really had to strain to force the final act to come together. Liked the visual cues with the lights flickering every time he was nearby, but I'm glad it wasn't any longer than it ended up being, you know?
Completely wasted the opportunity to do something good with the concept. Just a pointless, aimless movie in the end. Very disappointing.
I enjoyed it. It was a good spin, but shit it could have been better.
I thought it was an interesting concept, then I watched the Boys a few months later who did the evil Superman thing so much better.
Yeah, thats how I feel. A wasted concept (altho i gotta check out The Boys)
As a movie, it was entertaining enough. Thankfully it was only 90 minutes cos they kinda kept doing the same thing towards the end.

The Boys does a kinda similar concept but sooo much better - it's fantastic and you will love it.
I didn’t enjoy it, admittedly.
Oh wow wicked. Ill have to watch it cos I kept seeing and hearing ads for it and it looked like a great concept in the ads (well similar to this but also focusing on the ones who take out the 'superheroes' ha)
Watched this the other day. Didn't do anything interesting. Quite boring. Nice kills though.
Fairly entertaining.
