did anyone read the Stephen King's The Institute?

This felt really similar to that. I'm not accusing anyone of plagiarizing. That book was released roughly a year ago, so it's not really feasible. And also "powerful children held captive," to boil it down that way, isn't the newest or most original idea either.

If one copied the other, King's book would've copied this movie. The first trailer for this movie came out in 2017.

Some parts reminded me of the movie girl interrupted.

Really? It didn't cross my mind. Queen's Gambit (when Beth's in the orphanage) made me think of Girl Interrupted a little, though.

The New Mutants reminded more of Stranger Things and Dark Angel.
