INCUBUS - NEW BEGINNINGS

Cinemavixion Review

This independent thriller plunges viewers into a weekend getaway that rapidly devolves into a waking nightmare. The premise, focusing on a group of friends rallying around one experiencing a divorce, initially promises a drama of emotional support. However, the narrative swiftly pivots, introducing an unseen, malevolent force that preys upon the characters' deepest fears and secrets. The film excels in building a palpable sense of dread, transforming the secluded location into a claustrophobic trap. The strength of "New Beginnings" lies in its escalating tension and the exploration of how external terror can fracture interpersonal bonds. As the friends grapple with inexplicable events, their loyalty and resilience are tested to their limits. This is a story that delves into the psychological impact of fear, suggesting that sometimes the greatest horrors are those we bring with us, or those that exploit our vulnerabilities. It’s a compelling watch for those who appreciate a slow-burn horror that prioritizes atmosphere and psychological torment over explicit gore.
