Almost Human
Mark Fisher disappeared from his home in a brilliant flash of blue light almost two years ago. His friend Seth Hampton was the last to see him alive. Now a string of grisly, violent murders leads Seth to believe that Mark is back, and something evil is living inside of him.
Why it matters
A lean, pulpy sci-fi horror that fuses body horror with noirish paranoia, probing what happens when human identity fractures under alien influence.
- Practical effects-driven creature design recalls ’80s body horror masters like Cronenberg and Bottin, grounding the film’s alien menace in visceral texture.
- Seth’s descent channels classic paranoid thrillers, making it a tense, low-key character study wrapped in grisly mystery.
- Fans of genre hybrids and micro-budget gems will appreciate how it blends sci-fi concepts with raw, physical horror.
- Not flawless—some pacing issues and rough edges show its indie roots—but those rough edges add to the unsettling, off-kilter mood.
