Despite its deceptive format, found footage isn’t easy to pull off effectively. Horror fans have become savvy to the tricks and tropes, making it harder to stand out or deliver potent scares. Director
Kevin Ko attempts to reinvigorate found footage horror with
Incantation, a cult horror meets cursed video tale. A unique approach to found footage techniques can’t fully elevate a familiar supernatural setup or scares, however.
Li Ronan (
Tsai Hsuan-yen) works to adopt her biological daughter Dodo (
Huang Sin-ting) after an illness forced her to relinquish parental rights years ago. While legally chalked up to mental illness, Ronan’s life turned upside down six years ago when stricken by a curse for trespassing in a forbidden area. Shortly after regaining custody of Dodo, however, that curse comes rearing back, this time targeting the young child with a fury. Ronan goes to great lengths to save her daughter, even if it means confronting the past.
