Incantation (2022)

Another great horror from Taiwan
1 August 2022
Another great horror from Taiwan, found footage to boot! In this interesting and frightening supernatural story Ronan, a woman with a mental history and also a history of fighting to survive it, is in the process of regaining custody of her six-year-old daughter, Dodo. Ronan's problems started when she broke a taboo by entering a forbidden tunnel for her paranormal show Ghost Busters. That was back when Dodo was born. Now that she is regaining custody she takes Dodo home but when things start to go wrong she takes the little girl to the shrine where the tunnel is to be blessed by the keepers of the tunnel. This is a family who thinks they are cursed; I say "think" because this is based on a true story. Dodo has started seeing a baddie up near the ceiling and magical runes appear on her skin. When the witch and her man bless the child they warn Ronan, the mama, to not allow her daughter to eat for seven days. Of course mama can't manage that one, but once she feeds the girl all hell breaks. This is good. It's good in a unique Taiwan style. Like The Heirloom 2005 and The Sadness 2021 this flick is the bomb.
