This is a unique take on the horror franchise that I thoroughly enjoyed. The beginning starts off a little slow and the iPhone screens are kind of in the way, but as the drama unfolds the movie is truly unique in its take on the horror franchise. Rather than an axe man coming around the corner, you have demons and parallel dimensions causing tension. There's also some uniquely gruesome scenes as well. For someone who doesn't generally watch horror movies, I was pleasantly surprised. The transitions are rough in a good way, reminding me of something like the Blair witch project but not from the camera perspective. All of the actors did a great job portraying their role. Standouts were Ron Perlman and new to the scene Rachel Cook. Ron Perlman did a great job being a "bad guy but is he really?" Kind of character, while beautiful Rachel Cook turned into a grotesque demon with many in some cases extreme surprises. Brandon Bradley was also an actor I hadn't been familiar with, but he played his role very well. At no moment was I thinking he was anything other than a Dad hooked on a dating app. A huge breath air in the Hollywood trend of not taking risks and making essentially the same movies. Glad I was able to see this one.

The trope of desperate lonely men is an easy target these days. Mix in a little sex and B level gore and you have yourself a movie. The idea was good but not well executed or well acted. The Succubus played by Rachel Cook tried to bring in viewership from her followers but they will be disappointed from her usual work. She is given short lines and still falls stale and hard to believe anyone would fall for that trap. The effects be B movie level and if you are just in for the ride and don't want to think, it's an OK movie but much of the plot makes no sense along the latter half. Ron Perlman tries to bring some intensity but the characters around him are weak overall. Maybe that's on purpose or just poor directing. The ending has the cliche open ended twist which is common in bad horror movies. Overall I don't recommend and wonder production companies are able to make money with films like these.

This movie has been very underrated. My opinion is a pretty good well done movie. Ron Perlman was excellent and so was. Rachel Cook As well as the other actors. Not a cheesy horror movie like people would think. Highly recommend watching. Anyone who is interested in horror movies and the paranormal supernatural genre should watch this Don't listen to the bogus critics reviews. Think for yourself and come to your own conclusions and opinions on this movie. I think it deserves a sequel. Especially with Ron Perlman's character and more. Remember that critics originally underrated the terminator when that first came out.

I like this style of movies, though mostly on laptop screen in the start. But I can't stop watching to know what happened next, It reminds me a little bit of Missing 2023. But if you know her from OF, it is still light on nudity also sex scenes. I expected it a lot but the first time when Adra is success to seduce a man is so fast. I can't enjoy a lot that scene because of camera angle too. You can see one of her side ass in the end but its still not hot enough for me. If you want to watch just for movies, its not really bad at all. Just level of sexual content/nudity is low for me with Rachel Cook in here.

I felt like this film was the perfect hybrid of 80s monster film meets 21st century tech, and I completely appreciated the retro vibes, especially with the addition of humor in the main character's freak-outs. Are there insanely graphic moments of gore? Yes. Is the demon insanely attractive? Yes. Added to that was a deep conversation about male masculinity that I'm sure Reddit threads will love to dissect. Spoiler: I LOVED that red-room-in-limbo scene, it was psychologically creepy while also quite funny. My fav visual was the peeling back of the wall paper to see through his own eyes. Fantastic! I was surprised that this was just a low budget project as the quality of the film was incredible! Overall, liked it and would recommend. From the ending it felt like they were going for a sequel, but I'd be way more interested in a prequel - yaaaaas to female demon origin story!

I didn't have high expectations but the movie turned out to be quite good. It kept me on the edge of my seat and wasn't bored at all. The actors were all good. Rachel Cook's performance was great. I was really surprised by it because after watching her previous movie (Kill Shot) I wasn't sure if she had much acting skills. But she was awesome in this one. While the majority of the film was great, it completely fell apart in the final act. What an anticlimactic conclusion to an otherwise great little horror story. Because of the stereotypical horror cliffhanger I would love to see a sequel especially if it doesn't pick up 6 months later but 20 years later or something like that. I think there is a lot of potential there. (And just a sidenote: Was the full.frontal male nudity really necessary?)

Much is written about how one character can carry a film. In this case some believe an attractive one steals the show. It is suspicious when looking at other reviews and can see beyond the surface. This film has a unique style using current technology with out devices and how they affect our lives and the decisions made. Chris is developed as a wanting lonely father, being rejected by his separated wife. They use the usual dumb horny male archetype to have him fall for a sketchy woman. The dark demon is played by Rachel Cook who does a better job with this film compared to her last. She is better cast in this role only because they lean more on her looks than her acting. She speaks short sentences while in seducing poses. There is nothing beneath the surface with her. The movie is interesting at first then falls apart halfway thru. The effects are B level and some of the plot and writing has holes in it. Overall the movie is fine but if you look behind the thin veneer of the low rent model used here, there's not much to it.

This isn't your typical demonic romp; Succubus is a digital-age fever dream that lingers long after the screen fades to black. It's a visceral exploration of modern anxieties, weaving a chilling narrative of loneliness, temptation, and the insidious power of technology. Brendan Bradley shines as Chris, a sleep-deprived new father grappling with the implosion of his marriage and the seductive pull of online escapes. Bradley's performance is heartbreakingly authentic, capturing the exhaustion and longing of a man teetering on the brink of collapse. Enter Adra, played with bewitching intensity by Rachel Cook. Cook is electrifying; her performance is a masterful blend of sensuality and menace, a siren luring Chris into a labyrinth of desire and despair. Director R. J. Daniel Hanna demonstrates an unflinching vision. His chilling aesthetic, defined by a muted color palette and claustrophobic camerawork, mirrors the protagonist's mental descent. The innovative use of sound design - a symphony of whispers, digital distortions, and unnervingly silent moments - heightens the tension, building an atmosphere of dread that permeates every scene. And when those scenes erupt in violence, Hanna employs startlingly effective practical effects. These moments are not for the faint of heart - they're raw, visceral, and intensely memorable. Woven throughout this darkly erotic tapestry is a subtle but profound layer of symbolism. Ancient alchemical motifs blend seamlessly with the mundane trappings of our digital lives, transforming iPhones into sinister tools of seduction and social media into a desolate landscape of yearning and isolation. Succubus challenges genre conventions, crafting a horror narrative that is as emotionally resonant as it is terrifying. The film doesn't shy away from exploring the darker facets of our online lives - the thirst for validation, the fleeting promise of connection, the ease with which we surrender our vulnerabilities to the digital void. This film is an experience - one that will stay with you long after the final frame, leaving you questioning the seductive power of technology and the fragile nature of reality itself.
