Yeah, that part at the end was hilarious. I love how you reacted to being possesed, or whatever it was, and I always like seeing your "I got a shotgun." In fact, I hope that you use that ability the next time you have a crossover. =D
I honestly didn't think we would ever find a movie that [i]totally[/i] embodies your "reasons for actions are stupid," but ... dang. This movie had about -100 logic to it and even that's being generous. There's only one thing on the writer's minds while "writing" this ...
[size=medium] :gah: [/size]
Seriously though, great job Phelous. This is one of my favorite reviews of yours recently. I can only hope that the next movie you review at least tries to have a plot, no matter how badly it fails. :sigh:

I think the movie is a metaphor for Tara Reid's career
Let's see:
The van crash - getting kicked out of American Pie 3
Going to the building - A metaphor for going to nightclubs
Friend abandoning them for cellphone signal - a metaphor for her agent abandoning her career choices
The psychic monster - a metaphor for her boyfriends
The ending where Tara becomes a psychic monster - a metaphor for the death of her career
That's how i see this movie, a metaphor for Tara's post-American pie career.
And Phelous, no jokes about the band incubus? After all, you forgot to mention the fact that the DJ & the lead siger of incubus almost sued the filmakers of Incubus.

Your theories are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
Wow. This movie really does look as bad, if not worse than Hostel. I mean, at least Hostel actually had the impact of making me physically ill afterwards. Incubus doesn't even seem that memorable in anything other than its wanton stupidity. Were the filmmakers even trying?
"Reasons for actions are stupid"

Quick! Alert Linkara! Phelous has Youngblood's Disease!
Great review, Phelous! Loved the Clue scene the best. Hilarious voice work!
But man, what is it with these movies having neat concepts ruined by piss poor execution? The killer had no real reason to kill other than he was an abused experiment of some sort. OK, that provides enough of a reason, but still, we spend so much time following these stupid characters that very little is focused on the actual killer. Why should we care for him and the other characters?
Just plain stupid I tell you... :uhh:

09.02.2010 - 00:09 | YetAnotherGeek...what the hell was WRONG with these writers!? What PLANET were they from!? No, I can say with absolute certainty, without hesitation, that this has to be the WORST script for a movie I've EVER SEEN! This is something ANYONE could do better than, because NOTHING MAKES SENSE! The sentences spoken don't even appear to be spoken by HUMAN BEINGS! God!
Now I have to actually see this movie...

09.02.2010 - 00:16 | Dechha1981(Typed this before I even saw the video) Incubus was a wierd movie. The only scene that has even the most vague refference to the actual mythology of teh Incubus was a dream sequance, and even THEN... nope, Tara Ried still wasn't raped in her sleep by a demon.

no, I can see his blood logic, he's saying if someone killed them and then walked away there would be a TRAIL of blood leading away from the bodies, or bloody footprints. But all of the blood was in that one spot, suggesting the people attacked each other in that spot. But why couldn't he just say "If someone else did this we'd see a trail of blood leading away." Oh wait, that sounds intelligent and the plot hinges on these guys being retards.
btw, isn't an incubus just a male succubus?

He should definitely do a series on Boll's game adaptations so he can compare the two and point out just how badly he screwed them all up. Alone in the Dark has been done thoroughly by NC, Spoony and Linkara, so not sure what he could say that hasn't already been covered, but House of the Dead, Bloodrayne and the like would be perfect.

09.02.2010 - 00:58 | SpotTheShingoAlso, does the bit where people possessed by the killer bite off their tongues remind you of that episode of Twilight Zone where they cut out that one guy's tongue, put it in a jar and it wouldn't die? It just grew and [b]pulsated[/b] and gave birth to baby tongues!
Pretty cool, huh?

Awesome as always Phelous.
So did my PMs actually go through? You don't have to give a real response, I just need to know if you even received them or if you did reply and for some reason it's not coming through to me. Even keyboard mashing response like hgfhhf would at least answer my nagging question. Reply to this post even, help me confirm my shit is working.
Yes I am a persistent little bastard. OCD.

..And apparently, is it just me, or is pretty much every movie named Pulse in some way that you've reviewed, that pretty much must of the characters dialogue, well, stupid, or quite obvious?
Nevertheless, great review as always Phelous! =)
