Brightburn, the darkest, most violent, and adult superhero movie you may ever see, is about to arrive on DVD, Blu-ray, and UHD on August 20. And if you're interested in the home release, there is also an ill-advised drinking game you can play while watching it.
The movie follows an adopted child who is actually from space who develops superpowers akin to Superman. During his middle-school years, these powers awaken, and the movie takes a horrific turn. During the audio commentary on the home release of Brightburn, director David Yarovesky is joined by cinematographer Michael Dallatorre and costume designer Autumn Steed. At one moment in the movie, Elizabeth Banks' character Tori Breyer is looking for her son, Brandon, during the middle of the night. She ends up saying his name quite a bit. "We should have played a game where every time someone says the word 'Brandon' in this movie, we take a shot," said Yarovesky.

Now Playing: Top New Blu-Ray & DVD Home Releases During August 2019
Just to put this game into perspective, we first see Brandon in home videos at the two and a half minute mark. In the following 10 minutes of the movie, his name is said 12 times. If you've seen Brightburn, then you know the main character's name is said a lot, so we don't suggest playing this game, as you will be inebriated before act one is over.
In addition to the audio commentary, the home release of Brightburn also contains numerous featurettes on subjects like mixing horror and the superhero genre, creating the character, and social vignettes.
In his review of Brightburn, GameSpot's Mike Rougeau said, "Brightburn wants to be a rebuttal to the drippy sentimentality of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But it fails to understand one key reason why the superhero genre is beloved by millions. The heroic capacity to do good on a large scale is inherently fantastical; many people go through life feeling helpless to affect positive change in the world, despite good intentions. In contrast, doing evil on a large scale is all too easy. There's nothing enjoyable about watching someone with great power do what actual mass murderers have done countless times in real life: unapologetically kill a lot of people."
You can own Brightburn for yourself when it comes to UHD, Blu-ray, and DVD on Tuesday, August 20.
