Review:

Available to own on DVD today from Image Entertainment is the horror-thriller The Devil Incarnate! The film is directed by L. Gustavo Cooper and stars Rod Luzzi, Graci Carli and Emily Rogers. There are no special features or extras on the DVD.

With Halloween only a few weeks away, many film studios will be releasing or re-releasing horror to DVDs this month. New to DVD is The Devil Incarnate, which centers on a newlywed couple, Trevor and Holly Davidson (played by Rod Luzzi and Graci Carli). While on their way to Florida to start their honeymoon, they make a stop at Cassadaga, so Holly can have her fortune read by a tarot reader. Eventually, Holly finds a old woman named Vjestica (played by Barbara Van Fleet) to read her fortune, but it doesn't go as exactly as she thought it would.

Their honeymoon comes to a complete halt when Holly is rushed to the hospital that night because of hemorrhaging. It turns out that she is actually pregnant! Later at her in-laws place in Florida, Holly starts acting oddly - making-out with her sister-in-law, flirting with her father-in-law and she speaks in a weird language; all of which is being caused by her pregnancy.


I don't really get the whole found-footage genre that has become a popular thing in recent horror movies. You can easily guess the ending of this movie by its title - "The Devil Incarnate." Let's just say the film follows a similar plot that occurred in Rosemary's Baby and this year's Devil's Due, so don't expect an original plot here. The acting is typical for a low-budget film, which isn't the best, but I over looked it and just watched the movie for what it is. While there were a few creepy shots here and there, I was bored for most of the film, which only totals 76 minutes with the credits. Overall, The Devil Incarnate adds nothing to the found-footage genre. I'm not saying it is a bad low-budget horror flick, but I would prefer to watch Rosemary's Baby instead.
