There may be spoilers the rest of the review

Verdict: Just Another Sleep Horror

Story: The Devil Incarnate starts by filling us with an urban legend about one man needing to take a baby from its mother’s womb to keep his family tree growing. We move to a lady being questioned who told the story and as a video recording of Holly (Carli) and Trevor (Luzzi) on their honeymoon in Florida. The couple visit a gypsy to have their fortune told but not being impressed with the one they received they get recommend to Vjestica (Van Fleet) but they will have to wait for Vjestica to find them.

When the couple find Vjestica something happens during the reading leaving Holly in tears and Trevor helpless. That night Holly finds out she is pregnant after an internal bleeding scare, this surprises them both as neither knew. Returning home the couple get their final wedding present, Trevor’s family house but have to live with the parents Marie, Frank and sister Marissa. Holly doesn’t seem to be the same person she was after returning from her honeymoon. We watch how Holly becomes increasingly different leading to the family believing things could be changing and they need to find a way to stop it before the baby comes.

The Devil Incarnate starts pretty solid because we get to hear of the tale which the film will be about. We also know things have gone wrong and are left to work it out. After doing these two events the film decides it will go down cliché after cliché and seriously how obsessed with a card reading can you be? We are left to see very little horrifying action unfold instead it is just a slow mental degrade in Holly which seems to be cure in a one minute scene. I am sorry I cannot find anything good to say about this because it is slow, boring and you simply just don’t care. (1/10)

Actor Review

Graci Carli: Holly Davidson recently married to Trevor who becomes possessed by something when she finds out she is pregnant. Graci tries to make an impact but doesn’t pull it off. (3/10)

Rob Luzzi: Trevor Davidson new husband to Holly who is trying to keep everything calm during the pregnancy while not noticing the changes in Holly. Rob might as well not have even been in the film he does that little. (1/10)

Emily Rogers: Marissa Davidson sister of Trevor’s who films most of the film and tries to figure out what has been happening to Holly. Emily is the highlight of the film really because she is the only one solving stuff and actually comes off likable. (6/10)

Support Cast: The Devil Incarnate has a supporting cast that includes friends and family who all don’t really do much at all to the story.

Director Review: L. Gustavo Cooper – Mr Cooper struggles to make anything original in this film that really does disappoint. (2/10)

Horror: The Devil Incarnate is scary or horror filled at all. (1/10)

Thriller: The Devil Incarnate you don’t care you don’t get pulled in. (1/10)

Settings: The Devil Incarnate tries to make the idea be at home but doesn’t do enough to put anything on top of that. (3/10)

Suggestion: The Devil Incarnate is one to be avoiding because it really doesn’t do anything to the horror genre or have an interesting story. (Avoid)

Best Part: Marissa

Worst Part: The Rest

What Could Have Been Better? – Actually have a story, scares and an ending.

Believability: No (0/10)

Chances of Tears: No (0/10)

Chances of Sequel: No

Post Credits Scene: No

Oscar Chances: No

Runtime: 1 Hour 33 Minutes

Overall: This is one of the most boring horror films I have seen, it really is a let down to the genre.
