Review of Incarnate (2016) by Kapten V — 09 Dec 2016

Look, it's another one from the current wave of fast-food horror that spawns fast-food action-packed movies which look and feel all the same, be it about vampires, werewolves, witches, demons, exorcisms or something else.

You know the thrill:

* slick production values at modest budget,.

* some "name actor" in the lead to lure us to watch the same genre cliches all over again,.

* cheap tricks instead of trying to actually build some suspense and believable atmosphere.

* usually 90-100 minutes so you don't die of overdose of mediocrity.

* watchable but so predictable and forgettable.

But it still kind of works. You will get some chills watching this. They rely very heavily on sudden noises or onscreen-movements, so the scares will be mostly physiological, not psychological.

Anyway, this time it's up to Aaron Eckhart to exorcise some demons. Bonus points for looking like Sean Bean.

Actually, that's exactly the kind of movie for which i'm so disappointed in Eckhart. He's solid in every role but everything else is so generic that you regret even spending time on this.

Why does he allow himself be mostly filler actor these days? He was so cool in the end of 1990's and throughout the 2000's but on current decade, what do we get? "Rabbit Hole", "Battle Los Angeles", "Erased", "Olympus Has Fallen" with a sequel, "I, Frankenstein" and "My All-American".

I think I know what's going on... he tries to win the most boring cool actor medal from Johnny Depp!
