Hey what's up guys
Today I'll show you a supernatural horror film: "Incarnate"!
Spoiler ahead, watch out and take care!
The movie begins with a young boy and his mother, walking home to their apartment one night
They have just come from the grocery store,
and are carrying a couple of bags filled with the stuff they bought
While the mother is unlocking the building door,
the boy notices a bedraggled homeless woman warming herself by a dumpster fire
She looks at him, and growls menacingly
This makes the boy step back in fear
His mother finally opens the door, and calls him inside
Once inside their apartment, they unpack the groceries
the mother's phone rings; and the boy asks if it's his father calling
She changes the subject, and brings up the spaghetti they'll be cooking for dinner instead
Later that night, when his mom has already fallen asleep,
the boy gets her phone, and looks at it while he's in the bathroom
He listens to the voice mails from his father, who was abusive and had hit the boy before
The incident was the last straw for the mother;
and she kicked the father out of their apartment and away from her son
But now, the father wants to get back into their lives; and he is pestering the mother with calls
the mother wakes up, and knocks on the bathroom door
the boy quickly hides the phone, and goes outside to his mom
They settle in for the night
While he's in bed sketching, the boy hears a noise in the living room
He goes to check it out, and sees that one of the windows is open
He closes it, and does not notice someone scurrying behind him
the boy looks down; and there are muddy footprints toward the dark space beside the stove
Suddenly, the homeless woman from earlier drops from the ceiling, and lands on top of the boy
She starts to choke him; but he flips over with superhuman strength, and snaps her neck instead
Linsey hears the commotion and wakes up
She calls for the boy; and he turns toward her, with terrifying red eyes
Elsewhere, a suave man in a tux named Seth, enters a swanky nightclub,
and heads straight for a lawyer, accompanied by a bevy of beautiful women
He points to his watch, and says that time has been frozen ever since he got her;
and that in reality, he was too busy with his job to go out to clubs
Seth then explains to the lawyer that the nightclub isn't real, and that it's all in his head
He pulls out a monogrammed lighter gifted to the lawyer by his brother,
to get him to come to his senses
The blonde woman sitting next to the lawyer, is actually the demon possessing him
She smirks, and tells Seth that Maggie sends her regards
The bouncers in the club come and restrain Seth
but he fights back, and overpowers them
He grabs the lawyer, and asks him what color is personal to him
He replies with green, and then a green door appears
It turns out, this connection to his favorite color created an escape route in his mind
So they enter the room;
and Seth explains to the lawyer that for him to truly get back to his body, he needs to jump
The blonde demon is already at the door, and desperate to keep the lawyer in her clutches
Eventually, the lawyer chooses to trust Seth; and he jumps out of the window
He falls on top of a massive oak table inside his office
His limbs shake violently; and he throws up a dark-colored vomit
In front of him is Seth, who is also just waking up
But this Seth is not the debonair Seth shown in the club
In reality, Seth is a paraplegic in a wheelchair
His hair is long and unkempt; and he also has a nasty alcohol habit
He works as an exorcist, who dives inside the minds of demon-possessed people,
in order to bring them back
Although they did manage to rescue the lawyer,
Seth is disappointed that he didn't see Maggie, a powerful demon
His assistant warns him that he's risking his life more and more every time he dives
Already, the marks that the bouncer left on his arm while inside the lawyer's head,
also appear on his real body
If he's not careful, Seth can get stuck in the dreams created by Maggie
But Seth is hell-bent on catching Maggie, because she caused the death of his son and wife;
so he will do whatever it takes
Another member of his team enters the office,
and informs them that before the lawyer was possessed,
he frequented the local Starbucks and strip clubs
They would need to retrace his steps,
and figure out how the lawyer first came in contact with the demon, who possessed him
Shortly after, Seth is visited by a representative from the Vatican
She wants him to exorcise a young boy, who they believe to be possessed by Maggie
But Seth doesn't trust the Vatican, for he's been chasing so many dead-end leads;
and Maggie has evaded him every time
The Vatican came to him before, and told him that it was Maggie possessing some person;
but it turned out to be another demon
The representative insists that this incarnate really is Maggie this time,
and urges Seth to reconsider since the possessed boy,
as shown at the beginning of the film, only has three days to live
Seth goes to a priest who is well-versed in exorcisms, and once trained Seth
However, they had a falling out,
because Seth didn't agree with the priest's brutal method of exorcising his patients
Some of his cases lead to death; and the Vatican would cover them up afterward
Seth asks the priest, if what the representative said about Maggie possessing a young boy was true;
and the priest shows him the cage he has at his home
Inside is a wild-eyed and dirty man, possessed by a demon
The priest took him, so he could study how demons operate
The demon had revealed that Maggie had possessed a boy,
which is why the priest knew that the representative was telling the truth
He also gives Seth a vial of the man's blood, which once ingested,
will give Seth a few seconds of clarity to commit suicide, if ever Maggie threatens to possess him
However, Seth refuses the vial and leaves
Later, Seth calls the representative and accepts the case
She hands him a folder on the boy, and tells him about the boy's family history
His mother filed a restraining order against his alcoholic father,
after he had broken the boy's arm
After the mother reported her son's case to the church,
the Vatican sent exorcists to handle the situation
but none of them have been successful
They believe that the boy was possessed,
because the homeless woman transferred Maggie to him, through physical contact
The representative and Seth go to the mother's apartment
She is fatigued from the stress of the previous days, and is hesitant to accept another exorcist
Seth explains that his method is different from regular exorcisms
He evicts the evil spirits from the bodies of people, by diving inside their minds,
and freeing them from false realities
He has to convince the boy that whatever reality the demon trapped him in, is false
Once the demon is out, it will try to jump to another living host
but if it's not successful, it will die
They go to the boy's room, where he is being quarantined
Only Seth goes inside the room to face the demon
The room is dark; and the furniture has been strewn around haphazardly
Sitting cross-legged on the floor is the boy, with dark circles under his eyes
He immediately knows who Seth is, and explains he's been on Earth for eons now
In another language, he threatens to torture everyone Seth loves
Seth immediately leaves the room to call his team
He is now certain that it is Maggie, who possessed the boy
That night in his room, he tearfully looks at a picture of him with his dead family
There is a newspaper article nailed to the wall,
detailing how he and his family were in a drunk driving accident,
that claimed his wife and son's lives
The drunk driver responsible for it was an old woman, named Maggie
The woman was possessed; and Seth has been hunting the demon ever since
Seth's team arrives at the mother's apartment the next morning, and sets up their various equipment
The teammate explains to the mother that the monitors track the auras of people;
and right now, the screen is showing that the boy's aura has black spots on it,
signifying that a parasitic entity is occupying his body
The assistant injects a medicine that will lower Seth's heart rate,
and put him in a near-death state
Once in this state, he will be able to penetrate the boy's consciousness
However, he only has a short time, before it will be too late for him to go back
They wheel him inside the boy's room; and he loses consciousness
Seth wakes up in a sunlit park
He is back to his old self, with short hair and working legs
In the distance, he spies the boy happily playing catch with his father
He tries to get the boy to come with him
but his stomach starts bleeding; and he collapses
A man approaches to help him, with his eyes turning dark like a demon's;
and he begins to pull out Seth's intestines
In the real world, Seth's vitals plunge down; and his heart stops
The assistant injects him with an emergency Narcan, to pull him out of the dream world
Seth is disappointed that he failed
He vomits up blood, but doesn't tell the others
Seth tells the mother about seeing the boy in the dream world with his father
He surmises that the demon is feeding on his deepest desire to be loved by his father
the mother is adamant that she doesn't want the father anywhere near her son;
but Seth insists that the father is important in freeing the boy
the mother reveals the bar that the father regularly goes to;
and the representative and Seth fetch him there
At first, he does not want to go with them
Seth gets him in a chokehold; and he reluctantly agrees
They go back to the apartment with the father; and he goes inside the room where the boy is
The father apologizes for hitting him
It looks like he has reached the real boy, and the boy softly mutters that he forgives him
The father comes closer to him, and promises that he will be a better father this time around
But the demon is only pretending;
and he breaks the father's arm, before slamming his body against the ceiling and killing him
That night, the distraught mother demands Seth to tell her
what his real reason for going after Maggie is
He reveals that when he was younger, he discovered his ability to astral project
But he hid his talent; so he could live a normal life
Then one night, a drunk driver crashed into his car, and killed his wife and son
He wakes up, and sees their dead bodies
The elderly lady driving the car went up to him,
and uttered the same foreign phrase about torturing everyone he loves,
that the boy said when they first met
Obviously, Maggie had sensed his ability, and decided that she will make his life a living hell
Afterward, their equipment begins beeping loudly,
signaling that Maggie is feeding on the boy's energy
This means that the boy only has a few hours left to live, before he is fully consumed by the demon
Seth goes to the priest, to get the vial of blood
But he finds the priest unconscious on the floor
He wakes the priest up; and he tells Seth that his patient had escaped
Seth looks inside one of the crates, and sees the patient's dead body inside,
which means that the demon had transferred from him to the priest
Seth pulls out a blade in self-defense;
but the priest says that he's not going to kill him, because Maggie wants to do the honors
He then presses the blade against his neck, and commits suicide
Seth races back to the apartment
He asks the mother for something he could show the boy,
in order to remind him of an intimate truth from the false realities
She shows him a ring that belonged to his father
The assistant straps Seth once again to the equipment
He gives his assistant the vial of blood, and tells him to inject it to him if things get bad
Seth also breaks the Narcan syringe, and vaguely explains that he won't be needing it anymore
Seth dives into the boy's mind for the last time
When he wakes up, he's at a carnival
He finds the boy and his father among the crowd
He punches the father, and then shows the boy the ring his real father gave him
He also tells the boy that his real father never told him that he loves him; and he was abusive
the boy realizes this too; so he runs away with Seth into a funhouse
He asks the boy what his favorite color is
The boy answers that it's blue
A blue door appears; and they are about to open it,
when the demon in the form of the father catches up to them
Seth fights the demon, and makes him swallow the cross necklace,
that his wife was wearing when she died
The demon bursts into flames; and the two escape into the real world
the boy is back to his old self; and the mother tearfully thanks Seth
But then, she starts speaking in his son's voice; and suddenly Seth wakes up in a hospital bed
Seth's wife and son are alive;
and she tells him that he had swerved around a jogger, and caused them to crash
He sees the cross necklace his wife is wearing, and that his legs are fully functional
These clues make him realize that he is inside his own false reality,
meaning that he and the boy are still in the clutches of Maggie
Seth runs to the hospital hallway, and encounters Maggie inside the mother's body
He runs again, and goes inside another room
The demon then finally reveals his true form
Back in the real world, Seth's vitals drop; and he and the boy's bodies start to levitate
In the false reality, he makes a bargain with the demon, to release the boy and take him instead
The demon agrees; and the boy wakes up in the real world
He opens the bedroom door, and rushes to his mother's arms
Meanwhile, the teammate injects Seth with the blood he gave them
Just as the priest said, it could give him a few seconds of control over his body
The possessed Seth painstakingly crawls to the window,
and throws himself down the street below,
attempting to commit suicide together with the demon inside
After he hits the concrete, his body convulses
The team members go downstairs, and warn people not to touch him,
since the demon could be transferred if someone touches him
Seth's heartbeat stops; and he is loaded into an ambulance
The representative goes with him, and along the way, the paramedics are able to resuscitate him
Seth's eyes flutter open; and it appears that he has survived his ordeal,
and vanquished the demon from this world
He reaches out to touch the representative's hand, and a strange expression comes over her face
It turns out, the Seth that was resuscitated was not the real Seth, but the demon possessing him
When he touched the representative, the demon was able to take hold of her body
The movie ends with Seth flatlining again,
and the representative's eyes turning red, signifying that a new incarnate has risen
