Becoming
A couple on a road trip through America encounter a terrifying dark force older than the country itself. An evil that transforms loved ones into someone terrifying, the entity has left a trail of murdered families going back hundreds of years.
Why it matters
A slow-burning folk horror road trip that entwines American history with an ancient, shape-shifting evil.
- Rooted in the eerie tradition of American folk horror, tapping into the land’s darker myths rather than jump scares.
- The slow descent into paranoia leans on atmosphere and dread, making every familiar roadside stop feel sinister.
- For fans of films like *The Dark and the Wicked* or *The Witch*, where isolation and heritage breed terror.
- Practical effects and creature design are minimal but effective, focusing on unsettling transformations over spectacle.
