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
Like an orphaned episode of "The Outer Limits", the film INCUBUS wrestles with issues of morality within the framework of a timeless fable. The use of Esperanto allows for dialogue that might have felt overblown if spoken in English, but here fits neatly into the story's dreamlike context. A strong script from director Leslie Stevens, brilliant cinematography from the great Conrad Hall, an evocative score from Dominic Frontiere (all three from "Outer Limits"), and fine work from a good cast (William Shatner is subtle and believable) all add up to a unique film. If you're tired of cops and serial killers and want to use your imagination, give INCUBUS a try.
