Starring then 14 year old phenom, Lulu Wilson (TV’s The Haunting of Hill House, Annabelle: Creation, Ouija: Origin of Evil) as a pint-sized femme fatale, Kevin James (TV’s Kevin Can Wait, Grown-Ups) in a surprise turn as a stone-cold Neo-Nazi killer, and Joel McHale (TV’s Community, Happily), Becky is a “a stylishly crafted and tenaciously acted thriller which should leave gorehounds plenty satisfied” (Shaun Monro, Flickering Myth). “Featuring strong performances, whip-smart dialogue… and some of the most gruesome horror to ever come from north of the border, Becky is a pleasant little surprise. But make no mistake: it is straight up gleefully irresponsible revenge horror and is definitely not for the squeamish” (Frank Wilkins, Reel Reviews).

Video Quality

Becky comes to Blu-Ray with a really gorgeous 1080p video presentation after previously being available in a more bare-bones release in 2020. The basic master is the same but the file size and encoding are miles better on this new release. The presentation provides a significant amount of depth on display, especially when Becky is out in the forest. The production design of the house along with the fabrics of clothing provide crystal clear textural details. The image is clean with the natural color palette popping off the screen. The film employs nice splashes of bold colors within articles of clothing and the vegetation which makes for a very striking image. The black levels are appropriately deep and inky with no major instances of digital noise. The flesh tones are natural with a magnificent amount of detail present in close-ups, especially in the bloody aftermath of certain kills. It would have been so fun to get this on 4K UHD Blu-Ray, but this Blu-Ray is a top-tier representation of this movie.

Audio Quality

This Blu-Ray comes with a stellar DTS-HD 5.1 Master Audio track that recreates these bloody situations perfectly. There are numerous hard-hitting moments once the home invasion commences which allows the environmental sounds of the world to engage the surround speakers in a really effective way. When Becky is setting a trap or staking out a kill, there are some really nice ambient details that flesh out the setting. Dialogue is the main force of the film, and it always comes through crisp and clear without being clipped by any competing sounds. This is a film that has fun with music including different songs and the score which all really shine on this disc. The music in the film fills the speakers in a wonderful, well-balanced way. Certain sound effects engage the low end of the track in a way that provides some appreciated texture to the proceedings. The audio track is an excellent sounding presentation for this feature in all respects. There are optional English SDH subtitles provided.

Final Thoughts

Becky is a deliriously fun time that balances the horrific with the gleefully twisted in a way that works really well. The titular performance from Lulu Wilson is incredibly committed and charismatic in a way that has you cheering for her even when she is perpetrating heinous acts. The film has a strong command of pace, and it establishes itself as a feature you can watch again and again without becoming bored. This one deserves a bigger audience than it got during the height of the pandemic. Ronin Flix has released an outstanding new Blu-Ray featuring a top-notch A/V presentation and a stellar selection of supplemental features. If you are a fan of this film, you owe it to yourself to pick this up. Recommended
