Incantation had been flying under my radar for awhile but I am happy to report that it's a solid found footage entry into the "cursed film" subgenre. Super spooky storytelling with interlocking pieces that draws the viewer into the mechanics of the film. No jump scares or shaky camera work, just unadulterated unease and dread for almost two hours. A+

The Sentinel (1977)

United by Rosemary's Baby and Tod Browning's Freaks this crazypants slow burn occult horror gem has a stacked cast with Beverly D'Angelo masturbating, Burgess Meredith mincing about, a mustachioed Chris Sarandon, and Jerry Orbach. Not as famous as the other devil pictures of the 70s and that's a shame.

Companion was OK. Funny. Some dark spots but overall more of a comedy than straight horror. Harvey Guillén is good.

I love this one and agree that it should be at least as big as other '70s devil movies. This and The Visitor.

If anyone hasn't seen this enjoy the trailer:



It is quite a film.

I enjoyed Starve Acre.
