Pesadelos Mortais

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.

"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.

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.

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.
