Of course, a superhero horror film that celebrates differences, like New Mutants, might be a tough sell for audiences who aren’t used to that sort of thing.
That very element could also be what helps New Mutants to stand out and become a hit, too.
For these reasons, a haunted house-style scenario seems like a perfect, if somewhat unusual fit, for this particular superhero movie.
Making New Mutants into a horror film is a bold take on a genre that’s usually focused on heroism and teenage empowerment.
