Incubus

About This Movie

Incubus (2023) dives into a creepy atmosphere that’s both unsettling and intriguing. The pacing is methodical, almost dreamlike, which perfectly complements the insomniac protagonist’s disorientation. The mysterious box acts as a catalyst for bizarre occurrences, and it’s fascinating to watch how her reality seems to unravel. The practical effects, while not overbearing, add a layer of authenticity to the horror elements. Performances are grounded, which helps sell the eerie situations. There's this palpable tension throughout, and the film manages to evoke a sense of dread without relying too heavily on jump scares. It’s distinctive in its approach to the psychological aspects of fear, making it more than just your run-of-the-mill horror flick.
