To Become One (2002) is a curious addition to the home invasion subgenre, laced with a palpable tension that keeps you on edge. The killer's gas mask adds a unique visual flair, evoking a sense of dread that permeates the film. It's not just about the murders; there's an exploration of friendship and betrayal woven into the narrative. The pacing feels a bit uneven, with moments that linger perhaps too long, but it contributes to the unsettling atmosphere. The practical effects, while not groundbreaking, serve the film well, lending a rawness that digital effects often lack. The performances, especially of Melissa, bring a certain authenticity that elevates the material beyond typical slasher fare.
This film has a somewhat elusive presence in collector circles, often overshadowed by more prominent titles from the same era. Its limited release makes it a bit of a rarity, with only a handful of editions surfacing over the years. Collectors often appreciate the film's unique take on the slasher formula, and there’s a niche interest in its atmospheric qualities and practical effects. If you come across a copy, it’s worth noting the varying cover art that can intrigue both casual viewers and dedicated collectors.
