so many movies ... so little time ...
On this day in 2023 (in Canada), audiences in attendance of the Fantasia Film Festival were treated to the theatrical premiere of The Becomers. Written and directed for the screen by Zach Clark, the film starred Russell Mael, Isabel Alamin, Molly Plunk, and others.
According to our friends at IMDB.com, here's the plot summary:
"A body-snatching alien comes to Earth, reconnects with their partner, and tries to find their way in modern America."

From Google.com:
The Becomers is a 2023 absurdist sci-fi comedy-drama directed by Zach Clark. It follows an alien body-snatcher that migrates to Earth, reconnects with its long-lost partner, and tries to assimilate into modern America amidst pandemics, cults, and political paranoia. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5,6]
The film flips the traditional body-snatcher trope, centering the story on the aliens’ perspective rather than the humans. After an unwilling host is taken, the main alien, named Francesca, searches for her lost love across the Midwest. Once they reunite, the two aliens must continuously jump into new human hosts—a conceit that leads to various actors playing the couple as they attempt to blend in. [4, 5, 7, 8, 9]
Told with narration by Russell Mael of the band Sparks, the micro-budget film is an offbeat mix of goopy body horror and tender romance. Critics noted it functions as a dark, hilarious satire of contemporary American loneliness, modern absurdities, and the isolating feelings of the 2020 and 2021 pandemic era. [3, 5, 8, 10, 11,12]
