While it attempts to change up the exorcist themes, it ultimately falls flat, as it really isn't giving the viewer much by way of entertainment or scares.

In Incarnate, we get the latest in a fairly long, uneven line of exorcism movies. And while it is far from the worst of the bunch, it also fails to do much with what starts out as a fairly interesting idea.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Feb 14, 2019

Too convoluted for its own good. The film takes itself seriously when it probably should have embraced its borderline silliness.

| Original Score: D | Nov 3, 2018

While Incarnate exceeds many of my expectations, there are still things that fall a bit short of what could be a near perfect reinvention of a possession film. The scientific aspects and the acting are definitely the highlights.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Nov 2, 2018

Bland direction and a by-the-numbers script make for an ultimately unsatisfying viewing experience.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Oct 31, 2018

Incarnate's overtly positive elements, including a typically engaging turn by Eckhart, are eventually rendered moot...

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | May 29, 2018

Aaron Eckhart, you're better than this I've seen you be better than this but do something that's better.

[The] performances make the human characters far more interesting than the demonic ones.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 6, 2017

A low-rent horror film in need of an exorcist, as it never recovers from being cursed with a bad script.

| Original Score: C- | Sep 7, 2017

This horror movie tries to set itself apart from other demon-possession movies by inventing an interesting new mythology, but eventually it gets tired, bogged down and lost in its own rule book.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 19, 2017

The result isn't even close to what could be expected, since its ending it's like a pastiche of many things and nothing at the same time. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jan 12, 2017

The mixture of genres and the well-executed twist offered by Incarnation's premise, above the usual formula, is what saves it from burning. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jan 6, 2017

A horror film that recaptures elements of the classics to mix them indistinctly and clumsily into a fragile reflection on dreams and time, and ends up being a predictable disaster. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jan 5, 2017

A pile of cliches under a mountain of stupidity. [Full review in Portuguese.]

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jan 5, 2017

The preposterous climax is merely a ploy to ensure a sequel -- a proposition that is scarier than anything else in Incarnate.

| Original Score: 0.5/5 | Dec 31, 2016

Easily one of the worst films of 2016.

| Original Score: .5/4 | Dec 25, 2016

Incarnate [comes] across as a cheap and relatively ineffective blend of The Exorcist and Inception.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 13, 2016

Director Brad Peyton may have wrapped up his film in the trappings of demonic possession, but inside that packaging is a watered-down "Inception" laced with a mild horror aftertaste.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Dec 9, 2016

It's Inception meets The Exorcist, and the best thing you can say for this routine scare-'em-up is that the final result isn't as idiotic as the premise sounds.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 8, 2016

Brad Peyton would seem to have viewed The Exorcist more times than is good for him, and evidently has a desire to be a new incarnation of horror director John Carpenter.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 5, 2016
