The Incubus

Really enjoyed this movie. I came across it a couple years ago but never got to finish it, but what I did see stuck with me. I finally found it again on VUDU and I wasn't let down in the slightest. The story is fantastic which doesn't surprise me since Shayne Leighton wrote it. She's also a very skilled actress and loved her in the lead role of Marnie. There was great chemistry amongst the cast and acting for the film was overall pretty good. There were a few actors/scenes that were a bit 'over the top' but not as many as I had expected and was easily overlooked based on the rest of the film and actors. Johnny was probably my favorite character as he reminds me of the best friend that everyone wishes they had - a little crazy but that's why you love him and he's always there for you. Frantisek Mach who played lead opposite Shayne as Raphael, did an excellent job in his portrayal of the tortured Incubus fighting between his true nature and who he wants to be. Perfect blend of angsty bad boy and sensitive lover, I'd enjoy seeing him in more. It's not a major Hollywood blockbuster but it has its charm and sucks you into the story fast. I only knocked it a couple stars because of those couple instances of over the top acting/scenes and a few spots where the sound is out of balance so it goes from being pretty loud (so you turn the volume down) to super soft (which you then have to turn the volume up to hear what's being said). Otherwise, great! I've watched it twice since renting and am totally going to buy it!
