The horror familiarity and inconsistent logic choices work against a creative approach to the found footage format, though it's anchored by solid performances and a memorable conclusion.

Rated: 2.5/5

Incantation is a brilliant horror movie, one that will leave you feeling a little lost and a lot traumatised in the end.

Here’s the deal. Incantation is awesome, but I don’t want to tell you why, because that would wreck some of the malign pleasures lurking within.

I loved this movie, a lot of people are complaining about the order but it is generally easy to put together if you have an average IQ. The confusion of the film is to replicate the confusion that the main characters are feeling, you are in the shoes of the Mother and her Daughter feeling exactly what they are feeling, seeing the curse torture them is haunting and purely scary. This movie makes you look away, makes you afraid of the curse and how it could affect you. The twist makes it so much better, gives you a feeling of being cursed and not being able to get the movie out of your mind. This movie is truly scary, and truly beautiful.

Interesting ideas and some good acting(especially from the young girl), but this was one of the most chronologically disjointed movies that I have ever seen!

Save yourself an hour 30 of boredom, and confusion and skip this movie. It is truly pathetic that this is marketed as a horror film when the two scares and counting were at the last 10 minutes of the film. The plot made no sense and there was no structure to the movie. I am honestly annoyed that I spent my time watching this disgrace instead of doing something far more important, like scrubbing toilets.

I watched this movie because I had already seen The Medium and was looking for something similar. The plot was a bit confusing, but it was still a good movie. I really love this kind of film, and I hope someone can recommend more movies like this.

Very good found footage vibe movie, though some parts are quite confusing. Good for when you're not looking for a quick scare but something to think about.
