The New Mutants (2020)

The New Mutants was delayed, then delayed, then delayed again. With Disney having acquired the X-Men license and the series stumbling majorly with two entries in a row - enough to make even the biggest fans of the characters longing for a refresh - it's practically a relic from a bygone era. I think people are just assuming it will be bad at this point. Truth is, this is a competent film. You can even admire its decision to take the superhero genre in a more horror-like direction but it doesn’t go far enough to be memorable.

After an unseen force destroys her reservation, Danielle “Dani” Moonstar (Blu Hunt) wakes up in a hospital run by Dr. Cecilia Reyes (Alice Braga). At this facility for mutants four other teenagers are being treated: Sam Guthrie (Charlie Heaton), Illyana Rasputin (Anya Taylor-Joy), Bobby da Costa (Henry Zaga), and Rahne Sinclair (Maisie Williams). While the teens believe they are being trained to control their powers so they can eventually join the X-Men, terrifying visions at night say otherwise.

The New Mutants is a little bit of YA drama/adventure, some Nightmare on Elm Street 3, and a smidge of Ginger Snaps 2. It’s kind of a horror movie that's shackled to the superhero genre. As we explore the traumas that brought the teenagers to Dr. Cecilia Reyes, some are genuinely disturbing and make for creepy visuals. If only they weren't restrained. You keep expecting it to kick it up a notch, really go all-out with the horror but it doesn’t. This lack of commitment makes decisions that would otherwise work seem odd. There’s only one staff member in the whole building. The technology we see in it alternates between something from the near future and the early 2000s. If our protagonist's sanity was questioned or her mind unraveling, it would add to the mood. With the film ultimately going the direction it does, it doesn't.

There’s a central mystery surrounding the terrifying visions and unfortunately, it's all too easy, too obvious. Like many superhero films, the climax is where The New Mutants is at its weakest, with a lot of special effects being poured onto the screen. It’s generic stuff; another letdown. On the upside, there are some nice quiet moments between the young mutants, with the scenes between Dani and Rahne standing out as some of the best. If this movie had been better their relationship would be the kind that would take DeviantArt and Tumblr by storm.

I was not bored during The New Mutants and considering how far my expectations had fallen, it’s actually better than I expected. It’s good enough to keep your hopes up and with its Native American protagonist and slight leaning towards female storytelling, you keep hoping it will burst out of the screen and deliver something really special. If only. The New Mutants is a step up for the franchise compared to Dark Phoenix but not enough for it not to have ended with Days of Future Past or Logan. (January 4, 2021)

I never thought I would finally get to see the New Mutants. Filmed in 2017 for release April 2018. However due to 20th Century fox execs disliking the concept of this being a X men horror movie, it was pushed back and scheduled for reshoots which would have changed the movie drastically. Then with the disney fox merger it was pushed back further and eventually held in Limbo so to speak. In the end Disney after acquiring fox has released it. No reshoots had actually happened, just the movie that Josh Boone has made. Listed as the thirteenth and final film in the X men series and seperate to the Marvel Cinematic universe. Did the movie deserve the hell it went through to be released........ honestly no. I actually enjoyed this movie. I liked the concept of a horror movie within the X men series. A group of teens whom are mutants all trying to control their powers, realise their hospital isnt a hospital but a cage whilst being tormented by their own fears. It is an interesting concept. The execution of the horror aspects could have been done better. At points they were a little paper thin and It felt like it could have done more. At first i was hoping for a cronenberg style body horror or a more psychological horror but it did feel like the horror aspects were tame and held back The cast are great in the role with stand out performances from Anna Taylor Joy & Masie Williams. Blu Hunt carrys the movie as Moonstar. All of the cast are good , each has their time to shine and grow. It did feel like a slight retread on the Dream warriors of the nightmare on elm street movies. Regardless I liked the film a lot more than I expected to. Personally I preferred this to X Men Dark phoenix I am going to give this a 6.5/10 ~mr Hare #newmutants #thenewmutants #xmen #xmenfilmseries #20thcenturyfox #marvel #marvelmovies #comichorror #horror #horrorfans #horrorfansworldwide #modernhorror #annataylorjoy #masiewilliams #bluhunt #joshboone #cultfilms #developmenthell #disney https://www.instagram.com/p/CExPkZDlnFg/?igshid=beb18h885ipn
