Welcome to Medfield State Hospital, home to very special individuals undergoing psychiatric treatment. It’s here we’re introduced to Dr Cecilia Reyes and an ensemble of mutants from the X-Men universe who have become her newest patients. Rahne Sinclair, Sam Guthrie, Danielle Moonstar, Roberto da Costa, and Illyana Rasputin, five gifted youngsters from different backgrounds but with one thing in common: they’re each wrestling to control their burgeoning powers and seeking to escape a troubled past.

But if they thought coming to Medfield would bring them safety and make them better, they were very wrong.

After a series of ominous occurrences, the young mutants soon come to realise that the eerie, claustrophobic confines of Medfield are less hospital, more thought-controlled cage of a supernatural nature. They are being held at the will of Demon Bear who feeds mercilessly off negative emotions and consumes souls.

The first film under the Disney/Fox banner, and Marvel’s first pure horror feature, The New Mutants builds on the increasing demand for a view into the darker depths of superhero characters. It’s a terrifying nightmare for the mutants, and they're praying they can wake up, harness their powers, and get the hell out together.
