Seriously though, is this the best we can do folks? Especially in the wake of the summer hit 'The Conjuring 2' and even FOX television's 'Exorcist' adaptation which show some form of creativity or unique concepts in this tired subgenre but 'Incarnate' is by the numbers, predictable, boring, and full of annoying jump scares. Even with good casting, this film is just insufferable and I have to be honest, I hate the kid in this film and wish he wasn't cast in fifty productions this year. Most will likely know him as the young Bruce Wayne in FOX's 'Gotham' show and even there he's quite obnoxious. I got to deal with this kid twice and both times, he was in something horror and pain related.
Even Eckhardt, who is a great actor in most things is just given nothing here and unlike 'Shut In' with Naomi Watts, he really does not seem to be even trying here. It's 'I, Frankenstein' all over again. This film is what's wrong with horror today. It's full of loud noises that the filmmakers think is what scary and horror is. The film is also full of choppy cuts and fast paced editing, it desperately needs ritalin along with the few teenagers who actually sat through this film with me.
What can I really say about 'Incarnate'? I hated this movie, not just because it's a lazy attempt at horror filmmaking, but it also will likely make its money back and give said laziness a reward it doesn't deserve. I hate what Blumhouse has become, with them starting the 2010 horror boost with 'Insidious' and now they've just become another Lionsgate. If you thought 'Shut In' was bad, just believe me and stay at home instead of seeing 'Incarnate'.
(This film gets no stars from me. A first for the site, but rightfully deserved.)
