‘The Becomers’ New Movie Coming Soon

Article arrow_drop_down

In the genre-bending comedy The Becomers, aliens mastering body-snatching grapple with the complexities of love in today’s world. Exclusive new images offer a glimpse into the film’s goopy and grotesque body-hopping escapades.

The Becomers will hit theaters on August 23, 2024, courtesy of Dark Star Pictures.

The plot of The Becomers centers on two extraterrestrials fleeing their dying planet and arriving on Earth. Played by a rotating cast of actors, these aliens hop from body to body in their quest to find each other, getting entangled in the chaos of contemporary American life.

Written, directed, and edited by Zach Clark (known for Little Sister), the movie was filmed in Chicago. It features performances by Molly Plunk (Little Sister, Profane), Mike Lopez (All Jacked Up and Full of Worms, Crimes Against Humanity), Frank V. Ross (Drinking Buddies), Isabel Alamin, and Keith Kelly. The film also includes the voice of Russell Mael, the lead singer of the pop-rock band Sparks. The Becomers was produced by Joe Swanberg (Depraved, The Rental) and Edwin Linker (Saint Frances, Queen of Earth) of Slasher Films.

Clark reunited with composer Fritz Myers for the fourth time and worked again with cinematographer Daryl Pittman, who has been the director of photography on all his films. The striking alien designs were crafted by renowned horror, creature, and sci-fi FX artists Brian Spears and Pete Gerner.

In a review from Fantasia, the film was described as a mix of absurdist humor, gross-out sci-fi, and quirky rom-com elements. It ambitiously challenges perceptions and occasionally tests the audience’s gag reflex while exploring the power of love in a tumultuous world.

The Becomers will premiere in New York on August 23 at Cinema Village, followed by a Los Angeles release on August 30 at Lumiere Music Hall, and a Chicago showing on September 13 at Music Box Theatre. Filmmaker Q&As and additional cities and dates will be announced soon.

Meanwhile, brace yourself before viewing the newly released gnarly images below.

The Haunted House of 1995 – Best Horror Stories

The Haunted House of 1995  - Where the shadows see you before you can escape When I think of that year, 1995, fear still runs down my spine. I was only nine years old and wasn’t prepared for what was to come. My family, made up of my parents and me, moved to a house on the outskirts of Texas, a house much bigger than we needed. When my father saw it for the first time, his face lit up. "This is it," he said. The price was incredibly low for such a huge house. My parents thought they had found a unique opportunity, but I felt something different, something I couldn't explain in words at my young age. When we arrived at the house, my parents' excitement was palpable. However, I didn't share that emotion. The house was in […]
