The more that I read about this movie - I don’t know about this one yall. Fuk around and actually become victim by association.
“The core has to be about human nature. Ultimately, the audience has to care about the characters. Respect for religion, especially religious taboos and religions that are very obscure, has some degree of fear in it. I love scary stories, and even so I didn’t really quite dare to touch this topic. I wanted to magnify this feeling in Incantation.” – Kevin Ko, via
Comicbook.
However, there is a post on the Chinese website
Lujuba that claims the incident in question, from which Incantation took its inspiration, took place in Kaohsiung, Taiwan.
At that time, a family of six believed that they were possessed by a god, and the whole family started crazy, even self-mutilation and other bizarre acts, and finally led to the death of a family member.” – Unnamed author, via
Lujuba.
According to the unconfirmed report, a family of painters with the surname Wu allegedly claimed in 2005 that they had been cursed and even “possessed by Gods.”
“The whole family did not eat for several days. The family members beat each other with crutches and the main card of the gods, burned their skin with lit incense…..” – Unnamed author, via
Lujuba.
Heaven of Horror said that “Incantation is one of the best horror movies to come out of Asia (outside of South Korea) in a long time.”
LeaisureByte adds how “
it will make you wish to watch the worst reality television out there, if only to forget the trauma of this movie. Thoroughly enjoyable and extremely traumatising.”
WHAT!!!
I’m not watching this movie alone. Calendar this for another day. Too much hellfire and damnation warnings going on for me, I’m out.
