'Incarnate' A; Horror/Thriller Director: Brad Peyton Cast: David Mazouz, Aaron Eckhart, Mark Henry, John Pirruccello, Catalina Sandino Moreno, Matt Nable, Keir O'Donnell, Carice van Houten, Emily Jackson, Tomas Arana Rating:&nbsp;<img src="http://images.mid-day.com/images/2016/mar/2-stars.gif" alt="" width="59" height="11" />
It&rsquo;s called an eviction not exorcism and therein lies the problem. Movies about exorcism have fundamentally worked because of the audience inherent belief systems linked to religion. In &lsquo;Incarnate&rsquo; we have an atheist scientist of sorts calling the same thing an &lsquo;Eviction.&rsquo; And he doesn&rsquo;t do it by prayer, he has a set of gadgets and serums that aide him in fighting the evil spirit that has homed in on its victim.
A Vatican representative calls on wheelchair-bound scientist Dr. Seth Ember (Aaron Eckhart) in order to help aid the eviction of a demonic spirit possessing a single mother&rsquo;s 11-year-old son (David Mazouz). At first reluctant, Ember, decides to do the deed when he realises that the demon inhabiting the child&rsquo;s body has links with Maggie, the evil incarnate who was responsible for his own personal grief and loss. Of course, it&rsquo;s a given that in the process, he is also risking his own future existence.
This one is neither close to the original &lsquo;Exorcist&rsquo; nor does it have the unique appeal of a &lsquo;Paranormal Activity&rsquo; &ndash; instead what we have is a weak inspiration of the Renny Harlin directed &lsquo;Exorcist&rsquo; remake. And that itself is quite telling. That a crappy film like that one, could spawn an uninspired rendition like this one, makes it quite clear that the makers did not have a clue in hell.
Director Brad Peyton tries all the staple effects &ndash; a genre trademark of sorts, but none of it gets a rise out of us. The screenplay by Ronnie Christensen borrows material from quite a few sources, but none of it works. And if you are looking for intensity and gore you probably are in the wrong movie. Aaron Eckhart might have thought he had a potential franchise on his hands but doesn&rsquo;t look like this one is going to spawn any new surprises!
