DC’s first foray into pure horror delivers a gritty, B-movie-inspired romp that finds its footing after a slow-burn setup. While it takes time to find its rhythm, the film hits its stride in the final act, leaning hard into nasty, practical-effect body horror.
Starring Tom Rhys Harries and Naomi Ackie, the film functions as a standalone tragedy that doesn’t require deep Batman lore to enjoy. It hits theaters on October 23, offering a fresh, dark departure from typical superhero fisticuffs.
