Welcome To Movie Recall. In Today's video, we will be going through the 2020 Action,
Superhero Horror film: “The New Mutants”.
It's Time To Recall. Let's Get Started.
Turn On Subtitles and Spoilers Ahead! Danielle Moonstar, who is usually called Dani,
wakes up from her sleep after the chaos around her house caused by the tornado.
Soon, her father takes her away from the house and runs into the forest to hide,
but before that she still manages to grab something that is in her drawer. There, her father
hides her in a tree as he runs back to the village to help the others. A few moments later, she can
only fall silent when she stares at her father dying in front of her eyes. Feeling scared, she
continues to run deeper into the forest, causing her to fall and eventually falls unconscious.
Later, she feels confused when she wakes up in an oddly empty hospital with her hands cuffed.
She tries to search for help, but suddenly Dr. Cecilia Reyes comes to her room. It turns out that
she is the one who runs the empty hospital. She then comforts Dani so she can open the handcuffs
on her hands. Dani also tells the incident that happened to her last night. Because of this,
Dr. Reyes gives her back the necklace that she brought before she left the house with her father
last night. It means a lot to her because the necklace is the only present from her
father that she has until now. Meanwhile, their conversation is monitored by the CCTV in the room.
Dr. Reyes also informs Dani that actually she is not an ordinary human being, but rather
has unique mutant DNA. Thus, she advises her to remain in this hospital until she learns the
effects of her power and how to control them. The next morning, Dr. Reyes gathers with four
other teenagers who have unique mutant DNA like Dani. There are Samuel Guthrie aka Cannonball,
Illyana Rasputin aka Magik, Roberto da Costa aka Sunspot, and Rahne Sinclair aka Wolfsbane.
Dr. Reyes has brought each of them to the hospital because each of them has experienced,
or inadvertently caused a horrible tragedy, starting from Sam who accidentally collapsed an
entire coal mine where his father and co-workers work, killing them all completely. Roberto
unintentionally burned his girlfriend to death using his superpower, Rahne escaped her devout
Catholic village by killing the priest after he branded her as a witch because of her superpower,
and Illyana was enslaved and sexually abused as a child by a creature called “The Smiling Men”.
All of them also possess unique superhuman abilities due to mutations in their DNA.
Roberto can manipulate solar energy, Sam can fly at jet speed, Illyana has
inter-dimensional sorcery powers, and Rahne's lycanthropy allows her to turn into a wolf.
After a while, Dani approaches them and she is introduced as the new teenager in the hospital.
Afterwards, Dr. Reyes asks Illyana to take Dani around. As she walks out,
Dani tries to escape from the place, but strangely Illyana does not care about her. At the same time,
a wolf follows her from behind. Unfortunately, she instead hit a force field surrounding the
entire hospital grounds, causing her nose to bleed. It turns out that Dr. Reyes herself
is also a powerful mutant who can manipulate "plasma-energy" force fields, preventing the five
of them from leaving the facility. Illyana then laughs at Dani to make her angry. Because of it,
Dani wants to hit her, but Illyana immediately uses her superpower to dodge. Furthermore,
she comes back to the building and desperately plans suicide from the church clock-tower while
the wolf is watching her from below. At the right time, Rahne comes and prevents her from committing
suicide, bringing their relationship closer. Still around the hospital grounds, they meet
with Sam who is practicing his superpower. At night, Sam and Robert are chatting in
the laundry room while being watched by Dr. Reyes from the control room. In the meantime,
Dani is dreaming of the incident when her father was killed, making her psionic energy elevated.
Back in the laundry room, Sam is startled by one of the washing machines making a strange sound.
Feeling curious, he checks the washing machine as it takes him back to his past
where the miners and his father are seen. When he wants to go back, a miner suddenly
attempts to hit him using a pickaxe, sending him flying violently from the washing machine.
The next morning, Dani takes a bath with Rahne where she notices a mysterious W-like mark on
Rahne’s shoulder. Without any explanation, Rahne leaves her alone in the bathroom.
In the therapy room, the five of them practice controlling their superpower guided by Dr. Reyes.
Afterwards, Illyana abruptly antagonizes Dani in the dining room, causing them to fight. Therefore,
she wants to slash Dani with her sword, but at the right time Dr. Reyes manages to shield
Dani using her superpower. Then they are both punished by being locked up in an isolation room.
There, Illyana recalls her past about “The Smiley Men”, while Dani hallucinates seeing
her past and a black shadow from the sky that looks like a demon bear. Consequently,
Dr. Reyes comes to the room and decides to take Dani’s blood sample for further study.
The next day, the mutants want to play “Truth Game” using the lie detector in the attic,
but secretly Dr. Reyes is also watching them via CCTV. As the result, they are reprimanded by her
the next day. Later, Illyana manages to make Dr. Reyes falls asleep using drugs. Seizing the
opportunity, they party and have fun freely that night. Collectively, the five teenagers believe
they are being trained to join the X-Men under strict supervision. After that, Roberto approaches
Illyana who is swimming. After he kisses her, he feels heat on his body because he remembers his
past when he accidentally killed his girlfriend. His girlfriend's charred form suddenly appears
from behind him, causing the alarm to sound which wakes Dr. Reyes. They all come to the
swimming pool and find Roberto’s body is already on fire. Dr. Reyes immediately pushes him into
the pool so he can return to normal. Roberto then becomes angry and wants to run away from the place
after he finds out that Illyana was deliberately bothering him, but according to the CCTV footage
he was in the swimming pool alone, while Illyana was in her isolation room. However, Dr. Reyes
realizes what Illyana has done earlier and decides to lock her up again in the isolation room.
Soon, Rahne begins to have horrifying real visions of her past tragedies. Suddenly,
she is getting branded on the shoulder by the same Priest whom she had previously killed,
causing her to turn into a wolf. After that, Illyana deduces that the visions are the result
of Dani's powers manifesting themselves; the ability to physically manifest fears, illusions,
or other thoughts from a person's mind. Feeling upset, she immediately strangles Dani and takes
her to the Limbo, but luckily Dr. Reyes is able to inject a sedative into Illyana.
The following day, Dani comes to Illyana’s room to return her hand puppet of a purple
dragon called Lockheed. Turns out the hand puppet fell off while she was being soothed last night.
She also says that Limbo is a realm created by her and Lockheed back then. In the control room,
Dr. Reyes receives Dani's examination results from her employers, which is the Essex Corporation.
She is ordered to collect Dani’s DNA and then euthanize her because she is considered the
strongest and uncontrollable mutant that can harm them. As Reyes straps her down on a gurney, Dani's
panic causes her powers to go haywire. In another room, Illyana and Sam are attacked by physical
manifestations of Illyana's childhood abusers, “The Smiling Men”. Meanwhile, Dani's voice calling
for help is heard by Rahne, making her suspicious and immediately looking for her. Fortunately,
Dani still can use her powers to discover Dr. Reyes’s true intentions before Rahne arrives in
half – wolf form and mauls Dr. Reyes, forcing her to flee from the room. At the same time,
Sam meets with Roberto who is trying to break through the hospital's outer barrier which has
now contracted in diameter. All of them regroup in Dr. Reyes's office and realize that Dr. Reyes
was training them to be assassins for Essex. In order to escape, they must kill her to deprive the
force fields of their power source. Using Rahne's sense of smell, they manage to confront Dr. Reyes,
who warns them that Dani is too powerful and will destroy them all. She then restricts them all
with force fields. When she tries to kill Dani again by asphyxiating her with a force field,
the demon bear which is Dani’s own greatest fears manifested through her power,
suddenly appears and devours Dr. Reyes, making Dani renders unconscious. Illyana
then uses her superpowers to travel to "Limbo" where she retrieves a glowing sword, armor,
and a tiny physical manifestation of Lockheed to battle Demon Bear while Rahne tries to reach
through to Dani's subconscious and urges her to wake up. Eventually, Sam and Roberto also join the
fight, as well as Rahne, but all to no avail. In the meantime, Dani is visited by her father's
spirit, who encourages her to face her greatest fear. Because of it, she awakens and confronts the
Demon Bear, calming it down and thus dissipating it. In the end, the group finds out that the
force field surrounding the entire facility has disappeared. They decide to leave the place and
look for the nearest town. Thanks for watching.
