The outstanding performances of the actors and actresses were also praised by the audience. If you want to meet the Incantation cast, keep scrolling. It was released in Taiwan on March 18, 2022 and became the highest-grossing Taiwanese horror film of all time. It was directed by Kevin Ko, who also co-wrote the film’s screenplay with Chang Che-wei.
The film was inspired by a true incident that took place in 2005 in Kaohsiung’s Gushan district. A family of six claimed that they were all under the control of various deities from Chinese folklore, and each accused the others of being under the control of demons posing as deities. To drive the demons away, they splashed dung and urine on each other, beat each other with sticks and spirit tablets, and burned each other with incense. Finally, they targeted the eldest daughter and attacked her until she succumbed to her wounds.
Incantation is also about religious motifs. The film revolves around a mother who was cursed six years ago after breaking a religious taboo. Now she must protect her daughter from the consequences of her actions. The mother is also the narrator of the story. Not only the mystical story of the film, but also its narrative style has attracted the attention of viewers, as the events are shown as found footage in a non-linear way. Let’s take a look at the Incantation cast and get to know the actors and actresses better.
