THE BECOMERS Trailer: Aliens Navigate Life on Earth in Zach Clark’s Sci-Fi Genre-Bender

Hammer to Nail loves us some Zach Clark weirdness! The writer-director, known for Little Sister and White Reindeer, returns with a new visually striking spin on Invasion of the Body Snatchers. The Becomers follows two body-snatching aliens, arriving separately on Earth, who try to find their way back to one another by inhabiting various human hosts. It stars frequent Clark collaborator Molly Plunk, Mike Lopez, Keith Kelly, Isabel Alamin, and Frank V. Ross.

The film also features hypnotic narration by Sparks frontman Russell Mael. It will open in New York on August 23rd at Cinema Village, Los Angeles on August 30th at Lumiere Music Hall, and Chicago on September 13th at Music Box Theatre, with filmmaker Q&As and further cities and dates to be announced. It will also hit VOD on Tuesday, September 23. Dark Star Pictures has now just released the official trailer.

Here’s the official synopsis:

Forced to flee their dying planet, two body-snatching alien lovers arrive separately on Earth. Determined to find each other, the aliens jump from body to body, but they quickly learn that it’s not easy to inhabit their new, fleshy hosts, and that life in modern-day America is more complicated than they could have ever imagined.
