Product Description: Tara Reid stars in a gruesome tale about a group of attractive young college students forced to seek shelter in an ominous abandoned factory after a car accident leaves them stranded. Lurking within is a vicious serial killer bringing new meaning to the term "deranged." Soon, though, the group — what's left of them — makes another shocking discovery. Inside a triple-locked, shatterproof glass cage is a mysterious coma patient who holds the key to their escape and, ultimately, their survival.
A lot of potential, but ruined by a truly lousy script Tara Reid and friends have a car crash. They're on a back road, none of their cell phones work, so they decide to hike back to the highway. On the way, they find an industrial building, and decide to break in by climbing on the roof and opening one of the skylights. You see, it's getting dark and it's a little chilly outside, so they brilliantly come to the conclusion that breaking and entering is their best bet. Once inside they immediately find some dead bodies, laying in pools of blood. So they spend a while trying to get out (apparently the front door is locked and there's not a window in the place?), then they find a guy sitting in a glass cube in one of the rooms. Turns out he's a murderer, and can turn other people into psycho murderers just by using the power of his mind. Will Tara and her friends escape this really scary situation?
The good: Excellent atmosphere. The inside of this building is just naturally scary, the perfect place for a horror movie. The central concept of the guy with mind control powers is at least somewhat interesting. The acting is okay, not especially bad at least. And Tara Reid is pretty easy on the eyes.
The bad: Ham fisted, really awkward and downright stupid screenplay. To give you an example, at one point all the light in the building go out. They try to find the utilities area, and one guy announces that the place must run on generators. His reasoning? The building uses a lot of electricity, and if it was hooked up to the electrical grid, the cops would notice the high electrical usage and think they were growing pot or something. Yeah, um, maybe if it was a house, but it's a big industrial building. I mean, DUH. There are plenty of other silly problems like this, but the worst part is that the whole plot is just handled really clumsily. They try to find a way out, they discover the secret of the guy in cube, they start going psycho after one another, but somehow it all just ends up seeming like a bunch of people sitting around and talking, then standing around and being really freaked out. there's no logic, smoothness or general flow to the story. It's just a big amateurish mess. The movie could have easily gotten three stars with a descent script, and maybe even four stars with an excellent one. But no, they get this crappy thing and it brings it right down to two stars.
It's really too bad these people all put so much work into this thing, the directing, production values, etc. are all really good. But it's all ruined by one guy and his third rate screenplay.
Original Concept Isn't Necessarily Good "Incubus" sports an actually interesting story, a big time celebrity, and a bit of gore, what not to enjoy?! Really the sum up proceeds the films rather sluggish pace. Acting department, as we learned many can fake a cry...and some just make it laughable (can you guess which one this is?). We sometimes have also come to terms with the mediocre slasher film, poor effects relying on strong contrasting lighting, and cheap scares brought on by adrenaline pumping music.
What makes us remember these kind of films then? Some actually do have an interesting but rather bizarre plot, I think we nailed this one. "Incubus" does have its scary moments, but in all honesty the killer featured is more or less a secondary character. Although shown frequently, and mentioned he 'himself' does little. Without spoiling too much of the film, (spoiling may actually be a saving grace) a killer was deemed psychotic thus being locked away (watch and learn why). Stranded teens come upon the killers sanctum (surprise!!!), uh yeah sorry our psychopath is actually asleep. He'll remain that way for quite awhile, hey that's a forced coma for ya. Ironically sleeping is his favorite way to kill. Great method but,How just how?!
Wow again I made it seem better...Anyways, watch this film for the story (many will disagree with me), the few scares it holds, and for being a Tara Reid fan. I may be guilty of purchase, but verdict? This films guilty of cheap tactics and for not pushing the a great idea further.Rental or catch it on a premium movie channel.
No talent Tara Reid has no talent. She's just an actress mainly because of her looks just like Jessica Alba, Paris Hilton, Carmen Electra, & Pamela Anderson. These girls aren't really actors at all.
BOOOOOOOO! this movie sucked really bad. its not weird, its not scary, the acting is terrible, and the plot is really dumb. dont waste your time on this, i really wish i hadnt
Why is everyone bashing Tara? I'm a fan of Tara Reid. A lot of her movies are good, especially this one but because of all her bad publicity years ago, no one gives her a chance. I agree the storyline could have been even better but it was good enough and that's not Tara's fault because she didn't write the script. Anyone who likes thrillers and/or weird storylines would enjoy this movie. I was shocked when I heard it was a direct to online view since I owned the movie. If you really hate Tara, you'll find fault with her performance. But anyone looking for a thriller, should at least give it a try. It's not overly long and drawn out..once the young adults get stranded and find refuge in the only place around, the things that happen and have happened in that place are things you wouldn't expect and I found myself very interested and anxious to see what would happen next.
