Aside from embodiments generally being cliche and not done well my main point against it is that everything has the potential.

That would make it trivial and boring, since it can happen to anything at all. This isn't shapeshifter creepy like The Thing (John Carpenter) but boring since as soon as activation occurs it becomes one of the most cliche monsters in existence.
