You Become a Star, Too

About This Movie

You Become a Star, Too is a curious blend of horror and psychological drama from 1975. The film's atmosphere is almost haunting, with that slow build-up typical of the era, creating a sense of dread as Sang-Kyu's family life begins to unravel. The butterfly motif weaves through the story, serving as both a literal and metaphorical harbinger of change and chaos. Performances are earnest, especially by the lead, who portrays the growing tension with a subtle unease. The practical effects, while not groundbreaking, contribute to that unsettling ambiance. It’s distinct in its exploration of somnambulism, a theme not often tackled, making it a unique entry in genre cinema.

You Become a Star, Too is a lesser-known title that hasn’t seen widespread re-releases, making it somewhat scarce in collector circles. The original VHS and import DVD editions are particularly sought after due to their limited availability. Its unique themes and odd narrative choices have garnered a niche following, appealing to collectors interested in offbeat horror from the 70s. Given its obscurity, it’s an interesting piece for those who appreciate the oddities of genre cinema.
