Unsettling Mother-Daughter Tale

Ronan (Tsai Hsuan-yen) had spent time recovering in a mental institution and was now ready to be reunited with her daughter Dodo (Huang Sin-ting), who had been raised in a foster house run by Ming (Kao Ying-hsuan). However, when Dodo was with Ronan, she began to act bizarrely and "see" invisible entities called "baddies".

Ronan realized that these paranormal phenomena were related to events six years ago. She tagged along with her boyfriend Dom (Sean Lin) and his cousin Yuan (RQ) when the two returned to their village for some mystic family rituals. They began filming the proceedings for their YouTube channel, thus violating religious taboos.

Director Kevin Ko used the "found footage" style (mainly home videos and security cameras) to tell his unsettling story, going back and forth in time. The involvement of a cute child in mortal danger makes things more stressful. Ronan breaking the fourth wall to involve her audience to join her to chant "Hou-ho-xiu-yi, si-sei-wu-ma" added more creeps. The cursed video taken within cursed tomb made for a grand finale.

Tense, creepy

Very good.

The structure can be difficult at the beginning - different timelines - and the found footage doesn't always seem justifiable (well, at least until you understand the plan), but it's tense, scary at times, emotional, with a good story, full of local folklore and breaks the fourth wall (ok, not only by being a found footage) in an original and creepy way with a very efficient ending.

DECENT.

Incantation's premise is a decent vehicle for a found footage film. The ride to get there is engaging thanks to the efforts of a strong cast, relatable elements that ground the story, and a dreadful atmosphere. Many spells are cast and give goosebumps throughout the film.

The film is so intense that I had to take a break halfway through. Every scene advances the story with tension; there isn't any filler, or false hope, just increasing dread. It does get a bit disgusting at times, it's definitely not for kids. Very well done but also genuinely horrible. The film's purpose is to make you feel bad.

Old internet rule: Bringing Hitlor (that's right, like Skeletor) or spelling errors into a discussion is intsta lose. Bruno Mattei rules, i love everyone but not equally, Franco Nero is the shaper of the universe.
