Incarnation follows Brad and Jess, a young couple who
move to Los Angeles, lured by the promise of a fresh start. When they stumble
upon an incredible real estate opportunity, they think they’ve hit the jackpot.
But, of course, this "hidden gem" conceals a dark secret, and soon,
they find themselves entangled in a web of sinister forces that threaten their
lives.
The film's premise promises suspense and mystery, with a home holding dark secrets and a young couple trying to outrun their past. But unfortunately, Incarnation fumbles through its narrative, ultimately leaving viewers with more questions than answers. Taye Diggs, as always, brings charisma and intensity to his role, but even his performance can't salvage the erratic pacing and lack of cohesion. The story seems to jump from one moment to another without grounding its characters or their motivations, giving the sense that major scenes were either underdeveloped or left on the cutting room floor.
The pacing feels jumbled, with some scenes stretching on longer than necessary and others glossing over critical plot points that might’ve added depth. As a viewer, it’s hard to feel invested when the story never fully invites you in. By the time the climax rolls around, the disjointed narrative has undermined much of the tension that might’ve made the final act impactful.
In the end, Incarnation is a missed opportunity—a
film with a promising setup and strong lead actor that never quite finds its
footing. Taye Diggs’ talent shines through, but it’s not enough to make up for
the film’s narrative shortcomings. If you’re a fan of Diggs, his performance
might be worth the watch, but otherwise, this one can safely be skipped.
Overall Rating: Meh
