Incantation (2022) horror movie. Originally titled Zhou, is a Taiwanese found footage horror film streaming on Netflix. Directed by Kevin Ko, the story follows Li Ronan (played by Hsuan-yen Tsai), who is cursed after breaking a religious taboo. Six years later, she fights to protect her daughter, Dodo, from the consequences of the curse. The film blends elements of Taiwanese folklore, Buddhism, and Taoism to enhance the supernatural horror.
Inspired by a real-life tragedy, Incantation employs a unique narrative approach that involves the audience in the curse itself. Ronan addresses the viewer directly, asking them to recall symbols and incantations, making them feel like part of the eerie experience. This technique evokes an immersive dread similar to that found in films like The Ring.
As of now, Incantation has a 6.3/10 rating on IMDb and a 75% score on Rotten Tomatoes. The film continues to capture attention worldwide, becoming the highest-grossing Taiwanese horror movie.
