Incarnation

Well, sometimes you just have to stop and take heed of a low IMDb rating when stumbling upon a movie that you are not familiar with. But that is not something I do. Nay, I believe in giving a movie a fair chance and will watch it if I haven't already seen it and have the chance. And thus it was with the 2022 horror movie "Incarnation" from writers Tyler Clair Smith and Isaac Walsh.

I didn't know what I was in for here, as I hadn't heard about the movie. But I figured that it probably wasn't a whole lot given the low rating. But still, maybe it was a movie that would have some appeal for me. Who is to say that the preference and taste of those before me would match mine?

But as it turned out, then director Isaac Walsh didn't exactly dish out the worlds best horror movie here. Sure, it was watchable to an extend. But don't get your hopes up, because the narrative is slow paced and there isn't really a whole lot of anything exciting going on.

The acting in the movie was adequate, I mean for a movie such as "Incarnation". It is a movie with a small cast ensemble, so they had to perform well to carry the movie. I will say that the acting performances were adequate, and let it be at that.

Visually then "Incarnation" was a snoozefest. There was nothing interesting to see here, nor anything even remotely scary.

This is not a horror movie that I would recommend you rush out to watch. Sit down to watch it, if you have absolutely nothing better on the agenda, and if you are an avid hardcore horror fan. If not, then just skip on it and you will not have missed out on anything.

My rating of "Incarnation" lands on a three out of ten stars.

This had the possibility to be a decent movie, if they actually finished a script. It starts like an ordinary haunted house movie, but totally forgot the who, why and how of the plot.

Nothing is explained, so why the ending happens is quite vague.

I would have loved this to be some world building, but instead we get a 45 minute middle part of the movie with noises and doors moving.

Something we have seen 100 times already, in better movies and with better effects.

10% not so scary, scary movie. 90% sleeping pill.

You can pass this one... I noticed the music from the TV show "Exorcist", and I watched at least 2 more low budget horror movies from the past year using the same music (maybe now they can use it for free?) This is a classic haunted house movie plus a little bit about the occult. I've been too generous giving it 3 stars.

I don't like to be negative but this was painful to watch. The acting was stiff and the story didn't flow.

I was hoping it would get better or have a twist but I was let down.

Stupid this movie is. I thought Taye Diggs would only be in good movies. Tricked me! My daughter laughed at me for enduring it. I really thought it would change in the middle or something but nooooooo! It got worse and worse. It didn't make sense, the flow of the movie was horrible. It was poorly filmed. I didn't mind it being horribly filmed. I watched so many horror films that are B films but they at least have a good story or plot. As I said, my daughter is never going to let me live this down. She said it looks bad from the cover but I told her Taye Diggs wouldn't do a bad film. Boy was I wrong. Don't waste your life.
