Dr. Ember has the ability to exorcise demons by entering the subconscious mind of the victim. But when he is asked by the Vatican to aid a young boy he comes face-to-face with the demon that murdered his family.
Aaron Eckhart (Dr. Ember), Carice van Houten (Lindsey), Catalina Moreno (Camilla), David Mazouz (Cameron), Keir O'Donnell (Oliver), Matt Nable (Dan), Emily Jackson (Riley), John Pirruccello (Henry), Breanne Hill (Ilsa).
Incarnate begins by jumping straight to the story and Dr. Ember's unusual abilities. Taking a step back, we are then introduced to the fate of his wife and child even as the Vatican asks for assistance with a possessed young boy, Cameron. Tentatively investigating, Ember quickly realizes the demon in Cameron is the same one responsible for the death of his family. The remainder of the film is a supernatural roller-coaster ride as Ember enters Cameron's subconscious in an effort to drive out the demon.
Acting was decent with Eckhart doing reasonably well. Houten was enjoyable despite her smallish role. Moreno was enjoyable and seemed to work well with Eckhart. Mazouz delivered well in a variety of situations. The remainder of the supporting cast was solid and enjoyable.
Camera work, sets, and backgrounds were nicely done with only a few darker scenes being difficult to view. CGI and effects were well done and fit the film. Dialogue was good but could have had a bit more depth. Sound and soundtrack are fitting.
Incarnate is an enjoyable supernatural thriller if you don't look to deep. With a few plot holes, this one really doesn't add much to the genre and feels a lot like a soft attempt at updating the familiar demon exorcism story we all know so well. This will likely be most enjoyed by those new to the genre.
With a fair amount of violence, some foul language, and disturbing scenes, this should be fine for teens and above.
