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.

Plot summary
My name is Ruo-Nan, the reason why I'm making this video is I hope that people could help me lift the curse bestowed upon my daughter after watching what I have to say. Because of my ignorance, I never thought that it was my actions that brought the curse. The following content may contain certain hidden dangers and risks, which includes myself retelling the horrifying encounters that happened six years ago. 6 years ago, I set up a studio "Ghostbusters" with my boyfriend and my journalism classmates, we aimed to break myths of superstitions and shared them on our blog. One day, an urgent notice arrived from my boyfriend's home, calling him to return for an ancient cult ritual that occurs once every two decades in his family. Thinking it would be decent material for our blog, we all arrived for the ritual. Unfortunately we then experienced the most horrific ancient curse there.

Unsettling Mother-Daughter Tale
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.
U have sub on net just aks for it
No subtitle.. please dont seperate the movie and the subtitle.. make it one.. thank you
no english subs...so dont bother to download it..
fukc me this was creepy
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.
@djclyde13 *shrugs* Fair enough... Jive Samba is right... You're a moron! :) Happy now? :)
@JiveSamba 'Tis true... but Rule #34 is usually more interesting :)
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.
Ummm, if you are going to call someone a moron, you might want to spell it correctly. :)
1080 is up as ALWAYS and Subs are in the friggin' torrent you morron.
1080p and english subtitle please ????????
