Incubus

This is worst horror movie I have seen in a while. Story line is just awful, it feels like the director heard some stuff about astral traveling then some stuff about incubus and thought that he will have super storyline, he was wrong.. Acting? It feels like movie director got the worst actors available, I heard this movie had 5 million budget? Like what the hell? It looks like 10 000$ movie. Anyway, I strongly suggest to not to watch this movie, I feel that I have wasted my time big time. Its more like comedy, I actually laughed instead of being horrified.

"Incubus" has been on the shelf for a while. Filmed in late 2004, it collected dust for a year and half and then premiered on AOL. It finally comes to DVD this February. It wasn't worth the wait.

The plot: Jay (Reid) and her group of friends are stranded in a building where they realize that someone or something is terrorizing them by going into their dreams. Can they stop the madness? Wow, this is one badly acted movie. The token black guy (Bug) was the worst. His line readings were awful. Time to go back to acting class.... Alice O'Connell (Holly) can be seen reading the cue cards - with no emotion whatsoever. I'll save the worst for last: Reid has been better ("Silent Partner" for example) but she doesn't show talent here. Just a blank expression. Her screams (and moans) are even miscued and lifeless.

The only saving grace was the climax\ending. It had some suspense and gore and was put together well. If only the whole movie was like that.

I could not even get through this film. It had to be turned off. I tried to give Tara the benefit of the doubt since I had recently watched Devil's Pond and found it mildly enjoyable but this is just the worst film I have tried to watch in a long time. The acting and dialog are beyond corny and laughable.It's B-grade in terms of premise and execution.The concept of the film is so far-fetched its hard to even get into,I will venture to say its impossible to get into. Also, who ever dressed Tara in that see-through top needs to be exiled from working in film. The movie description makes you think you will see a nice Nightmare on Elm Street homage or something along those lines but trust me, you wont. the only horror about this film is the fact you have to pay to watch it. -the positive ratings here are obviously done by someone associated with the film, check their comment histories-

Can't believe anyone would think this is scary. Some of the worst acting and dumb story lines even for an grade Z movie. Tara Reid, what can you say about this actress. She has one expression, its like whats going on here, I'm clueless. I guess a look can take you so far even without any talent. I just wonder who is giving this a decent rating. Is the studio behind it doing it. AOL that had it to download? I actually checked the rating before watching and thought "well it might not be too bad, some people are liking it". There are so many good, small independent movies out there that are looking for distribution, why give this a release on DVD? To compare this to Nightmare on Elm St is just crazy.

The movie started with a good idea then quickly went south. At times the sound was weird and it was hard to understand Reid....Glad I saw it on DVD so I could run it back 15 times to catch what she was saying. Just too slow moving to be a good horror movie. I do give a thumbs up to the make-up on the main scary dude, to bad they wasted it on this movie. I had heard it was being compared to Nightmare On Elm Street, but I didn't see much of a connection. Nightmare On Elm Street was a well thought-out fully connected movie...Incubus was disjointed at times and Reid's character was empty. All in all I wouldn't recommend it to be your first pick to rent.
