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.
