Becoming

source: Becoming

A thrilling start but I dont think the script built up to a climax. .Ending was lack lustre...seems incomplete.

This took me by surprise. I was expecting just another horror film but this is so so much more than that. This is honestly the creepiest and eeriest plot and music in a film I have ever seen and I watch a LOT of horror and sci-fi. I highly suggest you watch this twice to add up all the points throughout the film you had no idea what was going on. They will all show you far more the second time around having known what's going on. If you enjoy creepy plots and such check out: Resolution, The Endless, Spiral, The Wretched, Spring, Beach House, 1BR, and last but not least check out the 1998 film Fallen with Denzel Washington as it has something similar to The Becoming and it's also a forgotten by many viewers but still a great film!!!!

This is another evil entity transfer film, one that happens through familicide. Alex (Toby Kebbell) and Lisa (Penelope Mitchell) are traveling cross-country. They stop in on a long lost cousin of Alex's. There is a large creep factor and Alex becomes the next target. Lisa is torn between the truth and what she wants to believe. I a film that handles the genre differently. Kebbell played his part well, but the film needed a name for the lead. Guide: F-word. Sex. No nudity.

Found this on demand, had never heard of it but thought why not, super vague description had me curious. This is a surprisingly interesting little flick. It's got a fascinating concept, decent acting and it just never delivers well enough. There address some interesting notes on abusive relationships and bettered wife syndrome along with generational transition of rage and cruelty but it's so unfocused and meandering at times that it makes it hard to get real invested. There's also not much explanation why anything is happening. As I think back, this really frustrates me. There's something here, a fascinating concept and screenplay, is just lacking that special something, that polish that could've made this something special. As it stands now, it's too forgettable and doesn't give me quite enough to sink my teeth into but it's so close. Sadly, we have what we have, not what I wish we had so this ends up being a surprise but still underwhelming. That said, if you have the chance, this isn't an awful and there are definitely worse things to watch.

It's a horror * thriller film. I kind of liked the suspense that was build in. The plot is about a kind of soul that takes possession of a body. The person becomes aggressive and ends up killing his wife and children and then kills himself. Once the family is killed the soul goes to another prey and this process goes on and on. I don't want to kill the suspense so I would suggest that you go ahead and watch the movie. Yet again I would like to add that there is no ghost that you might wanna see. You don't see ugly looking faces. This is just a human who gets possessed.

I like the English male actor from other films. Its not terrible. Definitely a low budget suspense movie. Not really memorable, perhaps theres too many of these out at once. It starts out really quite well..the actors save it from being bad. Strange things happen to this changing guy. Has the same sort of idea as the Outsider from HBO but way less character development as in none.. Better than alot of creature horrors out there. This is not that.

Nonsense story Nonsense movie Nonsense No special effects No memorable scenes One star is too much for it

Becoming is interesting and engaging, without being high quality. Penelope Mitchell's quite good and extremely alluring, Toby Kebbell could have been better though. Lisa certainly should have chosen a better time and place in the end, with her father caught in the crossfire and the cops arriving instead of Kevin Lee. I enjoyed it enough though, despite bits and pieces missing and being a bit sloppy.

This is a hidden gem. The grade of 4.7 and top reviewer which gives it a 3 is a JOKE. Watch it for yourself. If you like horror this should not disappoint. The acting is good. The story is great. Give it a shot! 8/10 A great horror/thriller.
