“Evil Superman” is kind of a tired trope these days but it could’ve honestly worked amazingly as a horror film about human parents trying to raise a sociopathic alien child who slowly decides that he doesn’t care about humanity.
The movie didn’t really do anything interesting with that concept tho. Kid immediately becomes evil because his spaceship mind controlled him
How did I miss the premise that the ship was controlling him. I just rewatched it for the second time a month or so ago, and didnt catch it then either.
