Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

Plantiana Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

J. (CountJonnie) The demands for horror aren't high. You just want some scares and at least one likable character. This movie offers neither, so don't get fooled by the decent cast.Aaron Eckhart plays a man who has the ability to confront demons (parasites and illusions) inside people's minds. This is shown in the intro in an interesting way, that completely rips of Constantine and Inception, but Eckhart might be that likable guy.After that intro, the main story shows up, which is about a possessed (or infected) boy, with completely no background information or motivation. That parasite happens to be the same one that is responsible for the death of Eckharts family. The church motivates Eckhart to be the excorsist here, which is all the more reason for the boy's mother to complain that Eckhart does this only for himself. The mother is played by Carice van Houten and she acts as if she regrets being in this movie, being a cardboard character who hates her cardboard ex-husband and the kid is caught in the middle. Off course this is the strongest parasite ever, so the battle between Eckhart and the parasite begins, with more than just the boy at stake.Bad movies can easily be forgiven. Bad acting can be forgiven. Predictability can be forgiven. If at least a few scares and twists are present. But the predictability in this movie has risen to sky high so there is no effect here. Add to that the flat story and unlikable characters, and you have a stinker. Too bad because with a cast like this one, you'd expect a little better.

Karasu87 From the very get go, it started off fairly well, and similar to the Exorcist and other possession films. With the introduction of the lead family, followed by a kid getting possessed, then show the hero in a bad ass scene as he helps a possessed guy.Yeah, after that, it started going downhill for me. It wasn't really bad, per se, just very unrealistic. Mainly in terms of certain deaths, and how the cops were strangely absent, and no questions asked, etc. "So... not one of you know how this guy died? Despite there being five of you, and a kid locked in a room? OK, sound logic." In terms of acting, and cinematography, it was pretty good. Especially Aaron Eckhart as the gruff, wheelchair bound hero, Ember. He was likable as the character, and one of the reasons I even bothered to rate it a 7.Story-wise, I actually did like it. It had a good premise, just.... some parts were poorly executed. Kinda like if the Exorcist was put in the hands of a director who had no idea what the script was about. I do wonder what the writers were thinking half way through the movie: "A toned down Exorcist with a hint of the Matrix? They'll totally buy that!" You have a character able to traverse minds... in which a demon controls the host. And yet, the 'mind' sequences didn't have any horror in them? Blasphemy! I would've so had a Night of the Demons dream sequence if I wrote it! But the movie is good as something intense to watch while bored, or while you wait for another movie to come on, or while you wait for some popcorn to, er, pop. More of a thriller than an actual horror movie though. But if you enjoy predictable twist endings, a life-hating hero and a bar fight scene, then check it out.

Michael Ledo This production pulls out all the stops by employing top "B" lister Aaron Eckhart to play Dr. Ember. Since childhood Ember has had the ability to enter people's minds and "expel" the "demon" or "mental parasite" as he prefers. He chases the demon who caused an auto accident which killed his wife and child (doesn't care so much about the child) and put him in a wheelchair. He works with a team of scientists who perform "exorcisms." Meanwhile little Cameron Sparrow (David Mazouz) becomes possessed by touching a homeless woman on his ceiling. (I didn't make this film.) Ember, who is flirting with retirement is coaxed into the job when he believes it is the demon Ash aka Plague, aka I didn't write them all down, that killed his wife. The demon is toying with Ember... "let the games begin." This is a slightly different type of exorcism film because it does not use both a young and a washed up priest, although Catholics do find their way into the film. The rest of the formula is the same. Sigh. Now if I was living my dream, and someone told me it was a dream and I had to leap from a high up window to "escape" it...I am pretty sure I wouldn't do it. That's just me. I am open for possession.Good "B" film acting. Story seems well crafted although it feels like they cut a scene or two...like how did they move and examine the kid without touching him? Guide: No sex, or nudity or even a reference to sex. Even in the bathroom scene a man is washing his face. Early bar scene with pretty women acting sexy. There is one F-word usage claimed by IMDb that I missed.

Ege Guncavdi There are a lot of horror movies written about demons and being possessed. The movie Incarnate tries to give it a different perspective by separating it from the religion. It could have been way better if the script were little bit different but honestly, I do not recommend watching it but if you are really bored and have nothing else to deal with go ahead.
