Why watch Begotten
Generally favorable reviews with some standout moments. Worth a shot if the premise or cast intrigues you. Pour a drink, dim the lights, and let the opening scene pull you in — this one earns your evening. Expect the kind of story that lingers after the credits roll, the kind you'll want to text a friend about before bed. It isn't on a subscription service in your region right now, but rent, buy, or cinema options below will get you in the door.

Reviews & ratings
Making use of low quality film to give the images a pretentious artistic look (and hide the low budget make-up and practical effects) doesn't work if there is no good plot to hold them together. It's a hard to watch film, because of the low quality, not because of the imagery. Boring through and through.
