INCARNATE | FAMILY MOVIE REVIEW INFORMATION FOR PARENTS AND KIDS

"INCARNATE"
(2016) (Aaron Eckhart, Carice Van Houten) (PG-13)

QUICK TAKE:: Horror: A man with a tragic past enters the subconscious of an 11-year-old to kill the demonic entity that possesses the boy.

PLOT:

At the age of 26, Seth Ember (AARON ECKHART) discovered that he was able to enter the subconscious minds of others. But when he tried to get away from that and lead a normal life -- including getting married and having a son -- a car accident left them dead and him wheelchair bound. To make matters worse, a demonic entity known as Maggie was responsible, and since then Seth has used his ability to evict such entities from those they possess, rather than use traditional exorcism tactics, all while hunting down the Maggie demon.

Having his reputation precede him, Vatican representative Camilla Marquez (CATALINA SANDINO MORENO) has approached him to help rid Cameron Sparrow (DAVID MAZOUZ) of a demon she believes might be the Maggie one. Cameron is an 11-year-old boy who lives with his mom, Lindsay (CARICE VAN HOUTEN), what with her having a restraining order on her husband, Dan (MATT NABLE), for previously breaking the boy's arm.

With his team -- Oliver (KEIR O'DONNELL) and Riley (EMILY JACKSON) -- helping set things up, Seth has his vitals throttled down to near death level to give him an eight-minute window to enter Cameron's subconscious where the demon has the boy held in a dream he believes is reality. His first encounter, however, has Seth realize this might be his toughest eviction yet. Determined to kill the Maggie demon once and for all, he prepares for his return visit.

WILL KIDS WANT TO SEE IT?: Those into demonic possession types of horror films might show some interest. Otherwise, it's not likely.

WHY THE MPAA RATED IT: PG-13: For intense sequences of horror violence, terror, disturbing images, brief strong language, sensuality and thematic elements.

I have subscribed to ScreenIt for more than a decade. I check in every week to take advantage of their amazing services. Not only does their site provide a glimpse of exactly what content a movie offers, I've found the “Our Take” reviews and ratings for each movie to be right on the money every single time. I've referred dozens of friends to this service because my #1 resource for deciding whether or not to show a movie to my kids, or to see one myself, is ScreenIt.com!

I signed up to get Screen It weekly reviews a long time ago, when my kids were young and I wanted to know more about movies before we went to a theater or rented. Now one child is in law school, other in undergraduate, and I still read the weekly Screen Its! It helps me know what my husband and I want to see or rent, and what to have waiting at home that we all will enjoy when my "kids" come home. I depend on Screen It reviews. They usually just present the facts and let me decide if the movie is appropriate or of interest for my family and me. Thank you for providing that service, Screen It!

I have 4 children who are now in college. I signed up for Screen It when my children were pre-teenagers. Often my children would ask to see a movie with a friend and I wished I could preview the movie prior to giving permission. A friend told me about ScreenIt.com and I found it to be the next best thing to previewing a movie. The amount of violence, sexual content, or language were always concerns for me and my husband as we raised innocent kids with morals. We constantly fought the peer pressure our kids received to see films that in our opinion were questionable. With the evidence we received at Screen It, our kids couldn't even fight us when we felt a film may have been inappropriate for them to watch. Thank you, Screen It. Continue to make this helpful service available to everyone, but especially the young parents.

Screenit.com is an amazing resource for parents, educators, church groups or anyone who wants to make an informed decision whether a movie is suitable for their viewing. The reviews and content descriptions are so detailed I am mystified how the reviewers can put them together.
