The New Mutants debuted in 1982, infusing the X-Men with fresh blood. The movie version takes the New Mutants and the franchise in a very different direction, with director Josh Boone giving the team an X-Men-meets-horror-flick vibe. Despite Boone?s paranormal twist, the film still falls within FOX?s muddled continuity.
