What We Become

What We Become

We open with a picturesque suburban neighborhood in Denmark, Sorgenfri, in northern Copenhagen, where the Johansens and their two children are enjoying a block party on a summer day. An elderly woman comes to them claiming that someone is dead in one of the houses, but no body is there when they investigate. As night falls and the news becomes filled with reports of a viral outbreak, it soon becomes clear that the Johansens are right in the middle of the zombie apocalypse. Soon their street, their world, is blocked off by the government and they are forced to fend for themselves. What We Become brings some excitement to the neighborhood.

What We Become (Sorgenfri in the original Danish) follows the zombie playbook pretty closely, going through all the standard plot points that you’ve seen dozens of times. That’s not to say that the film is not entertaining. If you’re still into zombies there’s plenty of action and jump-scares to be had, and it’s all very well produced.

The disc, however, includes no features of any kind beyond the trailer and really that’s just not going to cut it in this day and age. If you want people to choose a physical format over their many other options then it is essential to offer some kind of bonus content to make it a worthwhile expense. Scream Factory is usually pretty great at this and this is a really excellent genre film. It’s just a really disappointing lapse.
