Incubus
Release Date: February 6, 2007 Tag Line: His dreams are your nightmares. Description: Tara Reid (American Pie, Alone in the Dark Running time: 89 minutes Rating: Unrated Scoop ReviewPlot: The premise is semi-interesting, but the execution is terrible. The pacing of the film is incredibly slow for a horror movie. A Lot of walking around, a lot of gaping at things, and a lot of asking each other “What are we gonna do, what are we gonna do?” Just die, that’s what, so I can do some laundry. For the most part, everybody complies. Acting: Painful, utterly painful. Reid might be the best actor or actress in the movie. I’m fairly certain that’s all I have to say. Special Effects: Nothing extraordinary. All standard, run-of-the mill stuff. Overall, the blood looked realistic, though. (Insert lower standards here.) Keep an Eye Out For. . .
The Straight Scoop: This is a ridiculous yawner, convoluted and un-engaging. It may have been striving for “creepy suspense,” but instead hit upon “pretty much sucks.” There’s an ebb and flow to any good horror thriller. This movie neither ebbs nor flows. Instead, it runs in a circle for 89 minutes, chasing its own tail. And the ending is about as original as your local cover band, not to mention thoroughly unexciting. By that time, you don’t care what happens. You just want to see those sweet, sweet credits. Recommendation: It’s obvious that Reid is the main draw of Incubus. The filmmakers want young men to see her on the cover of the DVD case and say to their buddies, “Hey, Tara Reid. She’s hot. Let’s get this one.” That would be a mistake, fellas. (Besides, she’s not quite as hot as she used to be. All that partying is apparently taking its toll.) If you want to see a good movie with Reid in it, rent National Lampoon's Van Wilder Quality Rating: One-half scoop (for Reid’s current state of semi-hotness) Riff Rating: Five scoops Reviewer: Matt Deutsch
