Becoming One With The Becomers


Time is as they say a flat circle -- case in point I am in the middle of reviewing movies for the 2024 edition of the Fantasia Film Festival but in the past week two trailers for movies I reviewed at the 2023 edition of the festival have dropped! First it was the serial killer thriller Red Rooms (see that here) and now it's the psychotic body snatching tale The Becomers from writer-director Zach Clark (previously of White Reindeer and Little Sister). And yes...

... I have once again made the cut blurb-wise. My wordsmithery bears terrible fruit again, wah ah ah! I will never stop being giddy about this shit, sorry-not-sorry. Anyway The Becomers is a true trip and I think a lot of you are gonna dig is psychedlic slow-burn weirdness -- here is my full review at Mashable last year. I have been dying to revisit this movie a second time ever since seeing it last year, so I was extremely glad to get the email saying that it's dropping on August 23rd. Here's the trailer:

This was better when it was a Bonnie Tyler video.

Is this what Hollywood has become? Every tv show a 2000s Disney Channel original and every movie The Room? Nicer cameras, dullard acting.

I get that production costs have soared, that multiple takes is expensive, but damn it, invest in someone who knows how to direct, at least!

Well this movie isn't exactly "Hollywood" das buut -- it's an indie made for peanuts and should probably be judged via that mindset
