Becoming

I find this supernatural thriller quite effective. It is scary and suspenseful. I enjoyed it.

Fans of heavy CGI demonic possession scenes won't like this but what it lacks in explicit gore it makes up for in the sinister and uncanny.

Hellraiser it isn't but what we do have is an unsettling story that depicts evil as it really looks, like an ordinary man.

The idea is a simple one, that a human can be taken over by a supernatural parasitic spiritual entity and the hat this film does well is present that idea as a very human and relatable story.

I would agree that it's a bit slow, once it becomes clear that Lisa is aware of what her boyfriend has become, the we know the final girl moment is coming. But boy, doesn't it take its time.

Overall I enjoyed this, there's enough kept back to make the conclusion watchable. Despite the poor pace the performances were believable.

I had to get on here and write a review again because, as usual, the other scores on here just don't make sense. As I have said in other reviews, very few movies deserve a 1 or a 10. Those scores should be reserved for a masterpiece or a complete trainwreck. This movie is neither. It is a good movie with above average suspense and fairly good acting. It is a bit slow at times, but the premise is interesting and there are just enough spooky moments to keep you interested. It reminds me of the movie Fallen with Denzel Washington (which got a 7 on imdb). This doesn't have Denzel, but the quality isn't much lower. It is definitely worth a watch, especially considering all of the truly horrible movies in the horror genre.

Good movie but too slow but it is effective in some parts it is a super movie but lacks some good acting from the actors but is watchable.

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.
