Critics Consensus: Incarnate can't be accused of lack of ideas -- if only any of them made sense or coalesced in any meaningful or scary way.

It's all a wild jumble of half-baked, derivative ideas and arbitrary rules, all of which add up to a suspense-free horror narrative as murky as its lighting.
Strident rhetoric is required for describing Brad Peyton's latest film, a maddening hodgepodge of ideas that range from undercooked to unoriginal.
Incarnate, much like its central character at key moments, barely seems to have a pulse.
Dense with plot and mythology, the film is refreshingly unpredictable - if only because guessing what comes next would require understanding what the hell is going on.
Incarnate is such a pointless bit of hackwork that it almost makes the recent horror dud Shut In seem focused by comparison.
Offers a relatively fresh take on standard-issue exorcism-melodrama tropes, along with a performance by Aaron Eckhart that is more than persuasive enough to encourage the investment of a rooting interest.
Too convoluted for its own good. The film takes itself seriously when it probably should have embraced its borderline silliness.
While Incarnate exceeds many of my expectations, there are still things that fall a bit short of what could be a near perfect reinvention of a possession film. The scientific aspects and the acting are definitely the highlights.
Bland direction and a by-the-numbers script make for an ultimately unsatisfying viewing experience.
Incarnate's overtly positive elements, including a typically engaging turn by Eckhart, are eventually rendered moot...
Aaron Eckhart, you're better than this I've seen you be better than this but do something that's better.
[The] performances make the human characters far more interesting than the demonic ones.
Incarnate is an interesting premise that would have better performed as a Netflix series instead of a feature-length film. In what should have been a Supernatural horror film feels more like Comic Book origin movie with no way to turn a good idea into a good movie. While it is more entertaining than many other films in the Blumhouse library, at the end of the day, Incarnate doesn't have the story to pull off its own ideas.
