The New Mutants is a superhero horror film released in 2020, directed by Josh Boone. The movie is based on the Marvel Comics superhero team of the same name and is intended to be part of the X-Men film series. Unlike traditional superhero films, "The New Mutants" incorporates elements of horror, making it a unique entry in the genre.
The story follows a group of young mutants who are held in a secret facility, where they are being monitored and trained to control their emerging powers. The main characters include Rahne Sinclair/Wolfsbane (Maisie Williams), Illyana Rasputin/Magik (Anya Taylor-Joy), Sam Guthrie/Cannonball (Charlie Heaton), Roberto da Costa/Sunspot (Henry Zaga), and Danielle Moonstar/Mirage (Blu Hunt). Each character has their own set of unique abilities and struggles with the traumatic events that led them to the facility.
As the mutants begin to discover the secrets of the institution, they also confront their own fears and inner demons, which manifest as terrifying entities. The movie blends superhero elements with psychological horror, exploring themes of identity, trauma, and the consequences of unchecked power. The characters must come together to face the external threats and confront the darkness within themselves.
