Inkubus

Robert Englund is back and scary as ever!
I wasn't expecting much from "Inkubus," so was pleasantly surprised (or is the right word, "horrified!") to see Robert Englund turn in an incredible performance which left me looking away from the screen only a couple of times (o.k., there are a couple of rather gross scenes in the film).

I recommend "Inkubus" for any fan of the Nightmare on Elm Street Films and horror flicks in general!

Robert Englund Returns to the Sadistic
I know what you are thinking. How good can a horror film be with Joey Fatone from N'Sync being in it. Let me tell you it can be one of the most original and fun horror films you can see in years. The film revolves around Robert's character who has just walked into a police station carrying a severed head. This happens in the first 10 minutes. It gets much much better from there. The amazing dynamic is seeing Robert go toe to toe with William Forsythe who portrays a retired police officer chasing after Robert from the old days. Well written and sharply acted (even by Fatone), this is one of those horror gems that comes once in a great while. Robert is hasn't been this sadistic since the first Nightmare on Elm Street. Truly one for the ages check it out.

HOW YOU FEELING TODAY, TOM?
The movie opens with a weird "It's Alive" scene. A creature that should only inhabit Sigourney Weaver is performing its own c-section. After the credits we see Detective Tom (Joey Fatone) who is in a straight jacket telling us about what happened that night at the police station...even the stuff that happened when he wasn't present. Tom makes love to fellow officer Erin Cole (Michelle Ray Smith) a woman who keeps her bra on while love making, apparently something she learned from watching Natalie Portman films. During the course of a homicide investigation, the Inkubus (Robert Englund) shows up with the victim's head and confesses to gruesome crimes that date back 100's of years.

He tells us the In>lubus story and why he is there. Then things get weird, but not intense or frighting. If you have enjoyed the cocky supernatural bad guy Robert Englund before, by all means check it out. What is unfortunate is that the supporting cast really didn't have any decent lines or...
