Incarnate

Brad Peyton makes his first foray into horror and it didn’t go too well. San Andreas and Journey 2 suited him better as a genre. You certainly can't criticize the visuals, they are skillful, and he's also brought in a more familiar face, Aaron Eckhart, but that isn't enough. The lack of jump scares or anything scary is disappointing, the atmosphere is mostly nonexistent, only the idea of going into the mind of a possessed person instead of the classic exorcism is engaging, which is the reason for the most interesting sequences, but the film as a whole simply doesn't offer too much. It's worth a look, but I definitely don't recommend going to the cinema. 55% (13/12/2016)

At first glance, Incarnate is an original take on the exorcism genre, but as you watch it, it gradually becomes apparent that there's really very little that's new, because it follows the classic template. In the end, there's not much new in it, and the finale of the film destroys it completely. Everything that could have been good about it is suddenly gone and there's not much of anything left. I simply didn't like Incarnate. (24/01/2018)
