R.J. Daniel Hanna’s Succubus (2024) takes the familiar hazards of modern dating apps and twists them into a slow-burn, atmospheric descent into isolation. Brendan Bradley gives a grounded performance as Chris, a stressed new father separated from his wife who succumbs to the temptation of a mysterious online match. Rachel Cook fits the title role, projecting a hypnotic presence through screens and dreamscapes that steadily pulls the protagonist out of reality. While Ron Perlman adds weight as a researcher tracking the entity, his subplot feels underwritten and leaves a few narrative threads…

This movie surprised the hell out of me, in that I really quite enjoyed it. The acting all around was pretty good, the visuals were very well done, and that ending was so incredibly f\*\*\*ed up. Just when you think it's over, keep watching. I would definitely recommend this to anyone into cosmic horror/body horror lite.
