Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhile theatrical distribution was being sought for the film, actor Milos Milos murdered Barbara Thomason Rooney (also known as actress Carolyn Mitchell, then wife of Mickey Rooney) and then killed himself following Rooney's discovery of their affair. Twelve days before the San Francisco International Film Festival premiere, actress Ann Atmar committed suicide. Two years following the premiere, Marina Habe, daughter of actress Eloise Hardt, was abducted and brutally murdered. The case remains unsolved. Domestic theatrical distribution for the film was never obtained, the film elements were stored away, and the film fell into total obscurity in the US.
- GoofsThe English subtitles are sometimes incorrect. For example, at one point Marc says to Kia: "I want us to be together. To stay together ... as man and woman." This matches the Esperanto dialogue. Then he says, "Mi volas havi infanon." The correct translation: "I want to have a child." The subtitles say: "The right way." He also says, "Mi deziras, ke ni estas kune." Translation: "I want us to be together." Subtitles say, "I want your body ... and I want to give you mine."

Featured review
On a rare island inhabits two brothers, Marc : William Shatner and Arndis : Hardt along with spirits and demons , then the man battles the dark forces with unexpected results .Then Kia : discovers the incorruptible young Marc and falls big time. But her Succubus doesn't like what's going on and cast a spell that calls an incubus to wreak havoc . At the end, Marc meets the incubus , a terrifying , supernatural demon who enjoys killing humans .
A demon flick with sinister scenes in which a brave hero fights the forces of evil ,containing weird happenings , a twisted love story and a surprising final . One of the very few movies made in artificial language of Esperanto , so it is subtitled in English. Creepily atmospheric , including eerie frames , rare events and amazing conclusion . This film has a sad history , being destroyed all prints , but eventually one copy was discovered by the French Cinematheque in París. Furthermore , the usually unknown actors had short and unfortunate lives , as Milos Milos , who played Incubus , murdered Mickey Rooney's wife and after he committed suicide at 24 , Ann Atmar also committed suicide and Eloise Hardt had a daughter who was kidnapped and killed . While William Shatner who gives a decent acting was subsequently hired for his immortal role of Star Trek's Captain Kirk and Allyson Ames married four times , one of them to director Leslie Stevens.
The flick is made in very low budget, but its few money is make up for the enjoyable cinenatography in black and white by expert cameraman Conrad Hall (Road to perdition, American Beauty, Tequila Sunrise, Fat City) and uncredited William A Fraker . Adding a mysterious and really strange musical score by Dominic Frontiere (The Stunt Man, Contact , Chisum, Barquero , Number one). The motion picture was competently directed by Leslie Stevens , in spite of its short budget. He was a good writer/producer/director , as he wrote The Left handed gunman with Paul Newman and he produced and directed Hero's island with James Mason and Private Property with Warren Oates . He also wrote , directed and created for TV some notorious series The Outer Limits , It takes a thief, McCloud , The Invisible Man , among others .
