Review
Jay, her brother, and four friends seeking refuge from a torrential storm break into what they think is an abandoned recycling plant. Incredibly, they find that they've stumbled into the aftermath of a horribly brutal double murder, the only survivor of which is a Sleeper- a coma patient hooked up to life support in a triple-locked, shatter proof observation room. Closer examination reveals a disturbing truth: the Sleeper is Orin Kiefer, a murderer executed by lethal injection six years earlier for butchering his family. Trapped inside with this comatose madman, they soon discover there is no escape and the Sleeper is not as harmless as he would seem...
It turns out the facility is a holding ground for a killer with eerie powers, a killer kept in an induced coma because, it turns out, he has the power to take over your body after you fall asleep. Thus we get the title: an incubus is a demon who has sex with women in their sleep, so, um, close enough for horror movie purposes, I suppose. (There is a scene at the end in which Jay dreams she is dreaming of sex, making it both a lame attempt to work in the actual meaning of the title and the weakest horror movie dream sequence ever - “Ooh! I’m dreaming about dreaming!” It does give us the film’s only scary moment, however, as Reid offers her version of what sex sounds like. Ew.)
In short this isn't a movie about incubi.
Stay away.
