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.

It's a good horror movie ruined by a bad ending. It could have been a good horror movie if the director didn't include the incantation that cursed the antagonist/protagonist at the end of the movie as if it was being passed on. The whole movie could have been better without that part.

It was a very memorable film, the rituals and the story makes you feel like you are part of the story, it's a little bit confused.

Truly rare for a movie to disturb me, but it did! Great performances, great atmosphere, great pacing. Especially love the discomforting delivery of its main twist.

Deeply disturbing and utterly enthralling. Rather than a quick scare, it leaves you unsettled and digging into the lore.

If you’re into found footage horror, you have to watch this one. It seriously got under my skin — super tense, creepy, and even kind of gross in the best way.
