Review of Incarnate (2016) by Orlando O — 12 Apr 2017
Incarnate is a supernatural horror film that borrows elements from other better films with no originality, boring acting, terrible dialogue, and it lacked scares and thrills. The supernatural horror concept has been seen in many of producer Jason Blums films and others involving an exorcism and possession. Incarnate tries to be different with a spin on the exorcism idea, as Dr. Ember (Aaron Eckhart) enters the mind of the victim that is being possessed to fight against the entity out of the body. Kind of sounds like a horror movie version of Inception. It was a neat idea, but the direction and boring script never really gives the characters the proper treatment it deserves.
The performances were dull; Aaron Eckhart is a good actor placed in a not so great movie. Even the supporting actress Carice van Houten gave a tedious performance after seeing her as a strong provocative character in Game of Thrones.
Incarnate also lacked scares and thrills. It was difficult to see anything worthy about it. The film tries to build a subplot involving the accident that led to Dr. Ember being crippled to a wheelchair and his motive in these cases of trying to track down an entity.
Incarnate was a boring horror film that could have used a neat concept but executed in a terrible script, and dull acting.
