Incantation

About This Movie

Incantation (2021) dives into the chaotic life of a young undergrad who thinks dabbling in witchcraft might be the remedy for her academic struggles. But, as you’d expect, it spirals into something much darker. The atmosphere is thick with tension, almost palpable, and the pacing keeps you on edge as she grapples with the consequences of her choices. The practical effects are noteworthy, adding a gritty realism to the supernatural elements. Performances are solid, especially the lead, who perfectly encapsulates that blend of desperation and rebelliousness. It’s a film that explores themes of ambition and the lengths one might go to, and it’s the way it blurs the lines between the mundane and the mystical that really stands out.

Interesting take on witchcraft in a modern setting.Strong emphasis on psychological horror elements.Notable practical effects used throughout.
