Description

Proving love is indeed the strangest force in the universe, Zach Clark’s oddball romance follows a pair of body-snatching aliens across America as they try to find both their place within this odd world and each other. Featuring narration by Sparks legend Russell Mael, this freewheeling science-fiction comedy is filled lo-fi effects and the heartfelt, emotionally astute exploration of what it means to find your own kind. For those familiar with Clark’s oeuvre THE BECOMERS is a smart addition; for the uninitiated, THE BECOMERS begs a deep dive into the filmography. A truly one-of-a-kind film that’ll make you feel closer to everyone in the cinema by the end.

    [Insert PALINDROMES Reference Here]

    While not all the actors are equally talented in portraying our protagonists, the conceit works and Russel Mael’s narration ties it all together. I remember watching MODERN LOVE IS AUTOMATIC at a film festival years ago, and while the whole thing didn’t fully come together for me then, it made me aware of Zack Clark. Following his progression to THE BECOMERS has been a delight and I hope it’ll become an entry point for others.

    Intentionally awkward little sci-fi movie

    The Becomers is a quirky, low-budget sci-fi romance that mixes deadpan humor, body-snatcher horror, and surprising emotional sincerity into something genuinely distinctive. Its intentionally awkward tone and offbeat pacing will not click with everyone, but the movie’s charm grows as its strange love story unfolds.

    The Blu-ray presentation looks excellent, with strong colors and clean detail that complement the film’s retro-indie aesthetic.

    Body Snatchers

    A bit different take on the body snatcher idea but didn’t hit all the notes for me.
