Becoming

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.

Slow paced boring movie. I don't understand the other reviews talking about this being tense and not knowing what comes next. To me it was very straight forward. I feel like I've seen this plot a million times before, only done so much better. The cast try their best, but it's just so boring. The entity isn't scary and I don't care about any of the characters.

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.

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

To me it didn't matter in which category they categorized this movie, it's a bit of all of the genres mentioned without any genre being more represented than others. The story was interesting enough to keep your attention at all time. To me it was well thought of, probably the best thing about Becoming. The acting wasn't bad but not the greatest either, it had it's ups and downs. The cinematography wasn't flawless, it made it look like it could have been a TV-movie at times. There is some suspense and the story is innovative and good, all reasons enough to give it a shot, just don't expect a masterpiece.
