Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.
Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
Excellent, a Must See
n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
A CIA experiment involved hooking a guy to several electrodes and pumping him full of chemicals; the end result? He can control other people telepathically when they become tired – he haunts them in their dreams. A few college students – as is typical with teen style horror movies – venture into a remote location and find this hidden area used for experiments. They enter this otherwise not-so-remarkable- building, and find a massive laboratory underneath. They get picked off one by one as they solve the mystery and the main villain himself enters the fray for his own ends and purposes. Does the movie have a sex scene? Yes and no; it also leads up tot he plot twist at the end which is also interesting. The movie is different and interesting, but doesn't really feel like it was worth the watch. Personally, I feel more could have been done with it.Originally posted to Orion Age (http://www.orionphysics.com/? p=4832).
A bunch of 20 somethings are going camping in the Bitteroot Mountains, Montana. However their car overturns (not shown--this is VERY low budget). They all try to get to the road but come upon a huge concrete structure. They get in to get help...but find dead bloody bodies and something stalking them...The reviews for this have ranged from some saying this is one of the worst movies ever made to others who love it. I'm somewhere in the middle. It's not good but it's hardly the worst horror movie ever. Let's deal with the bad things first. For starters--the title is wrong. An incubus is a demon that comes to you in your nightmares. That's NOT what this is about. SPOILER!!!! It's about a madman who uses his thoughts to take over your body (when you fall asleep) and force you to kill. That's about possession--not a demon. END SPOILER!!! The cast has no personalities and are pretty interchangeable. The plot is pretty run of the mill too with that stupid "it's not over" ending. On the plus side it's pretty well-made, the acting actually isn't bad (top billed Tara Reid is good), the cast are all attractive (especially Russell Carter as Josh) and there's some explicit bloody gore. For the record there's no nudity in this one at all.So--all in all--a pretty good horror film with some decent gore and a capable cast. I was never bored which isn't something I can't say for most recent horror films. I give it a 6.
I can not honestly believe that anyone could consider this to be a scary movie. Let's be honest with ourselves. I had been debating for a VERY long time on whether or not to watch this movie and I am glad I was able to watch it on TV versus paying any money to see this travesty.Now. Car accident. Walking. Creepy building. These kids were out on a camping trip. So why no camping gear? Why was it so important for these kids to get in a protected/sheltered area when they were supposed to be out going to/coming from a camping trip to begin with?!? And how is it that they didn't know where they were... They were only driving to/from their camping destination, were they not?? NONE of this makes sense.I never expected this movie to be any good, especially after watching one episode of Tara Reid's show about being a drunken strumpet a LONG time ago. Doesn't surprise me that this is the only gig that the poor girl can get after that stint.The movie is just full of flaws and obvious holes that do not make a bit of sense.I have to skip over 95% of the movie for sanity's sake. I can not rehash the wasted time that was spent.I really do not understand the lustful sequence at the end, after "Jay" kills the "Sleeper". Sure! It's normal for someone to have a sexual fantasy about a guy they just killed, who had just only moments before, killed one of their friends. Mhhmmm. Completely normal. In honesty, this was the most logical sequence of the movie when taking the name "Incubus" into consideration - a spirit/demon that attacks a woman, usually lying in bed, who is seeking sexual intercourse. Otherwise, this title makes no sense as well as the characters' description of the "Sleeper" as being an "Incubus".People really aren't that stupid, or are they? The other part that kills me is "Jay"'s speaking of "floating" which most people can not connect with an out of body experience. This had very little relevance to the movie itself, but did a decent job explaining in layman's terms, how this possession was occurring. I just wish more people understood that she was talking about an O.B.E. and not really "floating"; welcome to the dumbing down of America.At the end when the "Sleeper" is talking, I couldn't help but giggle.Why?!?!?!?!?!? How, with such a large budget, could they have destroyed a script with such potential?! Yes! If this movie had been properly executed, it really could have been decent."Behind the Wall of Sleep" (2006) was even better than this P.O.S. and after watching that movie, I thought the budget on that was only maybe $5.00!! And that is saying a lot! So, enjoy this movie. Take it for what it's worth. A comical, mind-numbing, 90-minute wasting your life away, reel of entertainment.Just think, you could have been doing something else to waste your life away or kill brain cells but instead, you chose to watch this movie.
I usually love watching bad horror movies. They're fun. This movie was an exception. The characters were so poorly acted and their motivations so completely irrational that I was hoping this was a short film and they'd all die quickly. And the plot! Swiss cheese has less holes. Here's what I hated the most. I apologize the list is so short... Why did the entire gang enter through the roof? Why wouldn't 1 or 2 of them descend through the vent, then try the front door to let their friends in? Why did they assume they wouldn't be able to open them from the inside? When Jay and Josh are both looking for each in the hallways, screaming each other's names, why don't they answer? Jay couldn't have gone more than a few hundred feet before Josh went after her. Lucky break finding that key in the scientist's mouth. If Josh couldn't tell what was in her mouth, why did he insist on digging in there? In the basement, when Josh is trying to find the breaker switch, Holly senses there is someone down there with them. "Oh, don't worry about that, Josh, just find the breaker. The lights are sooo much more important than your life." When the gang discovers the Incubus, Josh immediately recognizes him as a child killer. How? This takes place years later after his conviction and his faked death so the government could experiment on him. How could anyone make that connection? "Hey, we're really scared because of the dead bodies everywhere and the psycho killer locked in the basement. I know, why don't we split up while Peter's trying to open the vent? When Peter discovers the airvent with the vertical shaft to lead to the roof, everyone's happy. In the very next scene, the characters are shown going upstairs. Wouldn't the vent be easier to access on a higher floor and make it less of a climb to the roof? No one was around when Peter fell asleep and became host to the Incubus. How could Jay, Bug, and Holly reach their conclusion that Peter was possessed during his sleep? Jay had no basis to warn Bug not to fall asleep because the same thing would happen to him. "Oh no, Peter's gone crazy. Where can we feel safe? I know, in the glass room with the creepy coma guy. Quick, everyone inside." Jay spends 5 minutes reading a "random" file about the Incubus and suddenly has ALL the answers. Oh yeah, she's a medical student. They must cover inhumane experiments involving child psychopaths and REM sleep in first year. Ditto with the first VHS tape she finds. Lucky pick, Jay. "Oh, my brother's dead and I'm devastated. The only thing that will help me now is telling Holly about my out of body experiences as a kid, which has nothing to do with the plot, other than a cheap attempt to explain what could be happening." Jay is a medical student? When was this ever revealed in the movie? And of all the people to play one, Tara Reid? Come on... The Incubus was very articulate considering he had no tongue, and my, so incredibly agile even though he was in a sitting position for years. Thank god his muscles didn't atrophy. "Oh no, the psycho Incubus is free, can talk, and walk around without handicap. I better waste time tying this vice to a rope and just hope it somehow hooks onto something on the roof." How did the rope get long enough to do this? It snapped when Peter was using it, leaving it short, which is why they were trapped in the first place. Jay kills the Incubus in seconds with rope that's not even wrapped around his neck. She just pins it down over his neck on both sides and he suffocates in seconds. Why did the police officer immediately arrest Jay at the end of the movie without seeing if she needed medical attention? Or asking her to explain what happened? And why did Jay just put her hands behind her back so complacently? (Tara, you're acting; this isn't real life.)
