This feels like the creative team wanted to make a body horror film, but the studio wanted to make another generic blockbuster.
A refreshing twist is that all the kids’ powers are…kind of useless. There’s a kid who can only move in slow motion, a kid who has every power in the world but can only use them randomly, and our main character Missy who has no powers at all.
