I wouldn't say that it's gory. Most of the scary comes from your increasing suspense over what's about to happen. There are a few scenes that might not be something your husband would be into but they're few and far between. Mostly you see the aftermath.
Ok, I am intrigued. But how scary is Brightburn? I can take some scariness, but my husband does not like anything too scary or gory.
