Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

DigitalRevenantX7 Story Synopsis: After surviving a car crash, six young adults begin hiking through the Montana mountains in order to get back to civilisation. With light fading, they decide to break into a deserted building that they come across. Once inside, they find themselves trapped in an abandoned scientific complex. They find the dead bodies of two of the scientists working there as well as an isolation chamber with a comatose man – the Sleeper – in it. As the night goes on, the adults begin to fall asleep only to wake up in a demented state, attacking the others with little regard for their own lives. The survivors, locking themselves into the isolation cell with the Sleeper, discover that he is actually a twisted murderer who has the ability to enter other people's minds while they are asleep.Film Analysis: Not to be confused with the early 1980s John Hough thriller of the same name (which concerned a demonic rapist), Incubus is another one of the cheap horror films made in Romania with minor American names & released in the USA. Incubus is, by all respects, a cheap & dreary horror flick that takes some elements from Wes Craven's infinitely superior classic A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET – the villain is capable of entering his victims' minds through their dreams – but fails to use them in any reasonable way. In fact, the film's mythology is seriously lacking in detail, with all the exposition being given by the young cast in such a way that it fails to make any sense. We have a villain who spends almost the entire film sitting in a chair while being in a coma & some of the characters do some really stupid things that threaten their survival – the three surviving adults, despite not agreeing on what the nature of the evil that is afflicting them is, decide on doing a real half-cocked experiment where they use one of their own as a puppet for the villain to control.By far the biggest problem with a film like Incubus is the serious lack of consistency. Some of the bloody makeup on the characters changes from shot to shot (makeup effects wizard Gary J. Tunnicliffe seems to have had a real difficulty in keeping the continuity going), as well as having several victims (& indeed the Sleeper himself) speak with no problems despite having bitten their tongues off. Also notable is the scene where one of the cast tries to kill the Sleeper by removing the tubes keeping him alive from his body, only for one of the tubes 'magically' reconnecting to him in a subsequent shot.The acting is, for the most part, execrably shrill. There is a running joke among certain horror fan circles on how Tara Reid's breast implants are a waste of money – indeed the only thing worse than having those things is having her horrendous acting skills being displayed here. The rest of the cast have similar problems with their acting skills. The only person who gives a worthwhile performance is Mihai Stanescu (who plays the Sleeper), spending most of his screen time asleep in a chair. When he does wake up, he proves to be even creepier awake than he was in a coma.Another thing I found weird with the film was the use of Romanian actors & locations despite the film being set in the USA. Of course, Anya Camilleri (the director) tries to make it work by having those actors have limited screen time so as not to let any of the viewers catch on (unless they sit through the closing credits like I do). Not a terrible film, but still a waste of time.

Boba_Fett1138 Basically from the very first minutes on you know this is not going to be a very good movie. The movie starts off with a car crash, which we however never get to see. The car looks totally wrecked, yet all of our heroes seem to be fine and without a scratch. Even their hair and make-up still looks perfect. After seeing such a thing you know you are in for a bad and cheap genre ride.I just don't get this movie. It's ridicules constructed and everything about it is being incredibly formulaic. Seriously, some times genre movies aren't even trying to be fresh and original. But it's really way worse that the movie isn't even really trying to make sense. Things just happen in this movie without ever making a realistic or sense-making impression. The main characters don't at all seem scared or surprised when they get stuck in an old abandoned hospital, in which dead people are lying around and other strange things are happening. They never really seem to attempt that hard to find a way out. Instead they just wander around and investigate every room like it's a Scooby-Doo episode.Of course things are not made any better by its weak acting. In fact, it even makes the movie unintentionally funny and clumsily to watch at times. Also the editing really makes you go; 'Huh? Did i just see that right?' at times. Some real ridicules stuff in this movie, that's not even really worth watching for the genre fans.No, you also shouldn't go see this movie and expect at least some good or original killings from it. As a matter of fact, I have already forgotten about all of them and the movie really isn't that bloody or gory to watch.Needless to say that the movie falls totally flat as an horror. No good tension, mystery or scares. No good gore, or a strong and memorable killer. No, nothing about this movie really ever works out, so there is no reason to watch it in the first place.3/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

preppy-3 A bunch of 20 somethings are going camping in the Bitteroot Mountains, Montana. However their car overturns (not shown--this is VERY low budget). They all try to get to the road but come upon a huge concrete structure. They get in to get help...but find dead bloody bodies and something stalking them...The reviews for this have ranged from some saying this is one of the worst movies ever made to others who love it. I'm somewhere in the middle. It's not good but it's hardly the worst horror movie ever. Let's deal with the bad things first. For starters--the title is wrong. An incubus is a demon that comes to you in your nightmares. That's NOT what this is about. SPOILER!!!! It's about a madman who uses his thoughts to take over your body (when you fall asleep) and force you to kill. That's about possession--not a demon. END SPOILER!!! The cast has no personalities and are pretty interchangeable. The plot is pretty run of the mill too with that stupid "it's not over" ending. On the plus side it's pretty well-made, the acting actually isn't bad (top billed Tara Reid is good), the cast are all attractive (especially Russell Carter as Josh) and there's some explicit bloody gore. For the record there's no nudity in this one at all.So--all in all--a pretty good horror film with some decent gore and a capable cast. I was never bored which isn't something I can't say for most recent horror films. I give it a 6.

Scarecrow-88 A wreck leaves a group of adults, led by Tara Reid, stranded in the middle of the Montana Mountains. They seek shelter from the cold and find a seemingly abandoned scientific installation, housing something sinister within.The film opens with one lab-coated scientist chasing another female lab-coated scientist, which ends in both killing each other. The young cast finds the dead scientists and attempt to find any way out as quickly as possible. Their entry into the place, led down by a rope, snaps leaving them stuck inside..they must find a way out immediately because an experiment those scientists were working on, locked into a bullet-proof cell holds a comatose killer(..notorious for the murder of his kin) with feeding tubes inserted into his body keeping him alive. It seems that this killer has the ability to invade the dreams of those who sleep, taking possession of their bodies and minds operating them at will. He was the cause of those scientists turning on each other, behind a hidden scientist who murders one of them with a screwdriver when they attempted to find the generator which would keep the lights burning inside the installation, and soon invades members of the group when they fall asleep. Reid and company hope to find a way of stopping him, attempting to use his method of travel against him long enough to somehow escape the installation or else. But, the killer is far more powerful than they realize..To be honest, the methods of the killer are fleetingly explained in the film, mostly through the conjecture of Reid's character Jay, who read through some appropriately detailed papers and videotapes left by the scientists. Your liking this movie will solely depend on if you buy the premise of the killer's invasion abilities. Reid as your lead ought to dissuade more cautious viewers who might not wish to waste their time on this film. There's some graphic violence(the killer bites his own tongue out as a child in a flashback sequence, committing the same act through one of the characters we follow in the film he invades;the fate of Jay's brother, who is badly wounded by the attack of the scientist, with the use of a screwdriver;accidental suffocation with a plastic bag over the face of one of the remaining characters when an attempt to trap the killer while inside the body of another backfires;the unfortunate murder of one of the group believed to be still possessed by use of a wrench)and the darkened halls of the installation where a killer could be lurking around any corner provides some eerie moments. But, I couldn't really find much to recommend truthfully, unless you are a Tara Reid fan..she's certainly had better days, although her fake breasts jiggle up and down throughout her constant running from evil in pursuit. I found her dialogue, concerning the idea of leaving your body when you sleep, rather funny. The final ten or so minutes I found rather ridiculous(..well, I found the whole premise rather ridiculous, but getting back to my point..)as the killer somehow, despite what one remaining character along with Jay does to him, roams free, talking awfully well for someone without a tongue, as he easily snaps a neck like Chuck Norris.This flick is basically characters is search of an exit while being picked off by a killer that has a unique method of terror.
