Incubus

Jay(Tara Reid)and group of her friends are stranded in a building where they realize that a serial killer is terrorizing them by going into their dreams.Fairly routine plot offers nothing fresh or interesting.The acting is hysterical with the token black guy being the worst.Admittedly the location sets in Romania are mildly eerie and there is a bit of gore and suspense in the climax,but I was bored whilst watching this film.Of course I didn't expect nail-biting suspense or tons of splatter,I just wanted to be entertained and "Incubus" failed to do this.Just another quickly forgettable horror film recommended only for some rabid fans of low-budget crap.

It's a standard premise--people get into an accident in the middle of nowhere, look around, discover something they should have left alone, and murder and mayhem ensure.

Done right, you get the likes of Alien or the Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

But when the formula is implemented by ten spastic monkeys banging away at some typewriters, the result is Incubus.

Make no mistake: There will be a special place in Hell reserved for all who had anything to do with this piece of trash being made. This movie had not a single redeeming feature about it--bad acting, bad direction, and I could have eaten ten horror scripts, thrown up, and pieced together a script based on how the different chunks of partially digested script landed on the floor, and it *still* would have been more coherent than this.

You have been duly warned.

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-

...why did you go down the dark tunnel into the creepy, weird place that looks like an old insane asylum that even the police don't go, then this is the film for you. For me, when an actor says "What's that?" and another replies "It looks like a kind of time machine" I say "This looks like $hit." And that's what I say about this movie. It's crap and whoever made it should be banned from ever making a movie again.....and Tara and the cast should be required to attend acting lessons. Here's the deal: You drop down an opening and then, instead of going back up that opening, you try to find another way out...in the meantime, some weird guy is manipulating your friends. You know this, and can stop it, but you don't. Why? How many times did I think 'go back there and climb out'?...Uh, each time I thought about it. DO NOT PAY TO SEE THIS MOVIE!! IT IS CRAP It's on par with a Troma production. If you know what that means, you'll either love it or hate it. If you don't, then you'll probably hate it.

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.
