New Year new you. Come January 1st everyone claims they are going to be a better version of themselves but by March we’ve all reverted to original sloppy selves. But if you could change would you? If you could be someone different would you? No matter the cost? LIFECHANGER will ring in the new year answering these questions and more.

Synopsis: Drew has an identity problem. Every few days, has to shape-shift, or face a painful death. He has to find someone and make a copy. He takes everything: their looks, memories, hopes, and dreams. Their entire life. He becomes them, and they die horribly. Enter Julia, the object of Drew’s affection. How can he make things right when he’s never the same person for very long? How do you gain back trust when who you are keeps changing? Part psychological thriller, part body horror, LIFECHANGER follows one shape-shifters’ twisted quest to repair the damage he’s caused, while leaving a trail of bodies in his wake.

Lifechanger - Trailer

The first thing I noticed about the trailer is the music. The soundtrack was an excellent choice, creating a heightened sense of suspense that draws the viewer in. The story itself seems like an interesting concept but looks like there could be a lot of confusion in following who’s life is “changing” and who the shapeshifter is claiming now. My biggest question is the conflict. The movie can’t be 90 minutes of shapeshifting, there must be more conflict to it than that, but the trailer didn’t reveal exactly what that conflict was, only barely hinted at it. Whether that was intentional or unintentional my curiosity has been piqued.
