Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Dagon When I created that list of titles for people to choose from, The Incubus lay among them - a title I virtually knew nothing about. This always excites me because you never know what you're going to get; a prize-winner or an utter failure. The film's director, John Hough, is the same man responsible for bringing you titles like 1973's The Legend of Hell House, American Gothic from 1987, and the 4th installment in the Howling franchise, Howling IV: The Original Nightmare released in 1988. We're not here to talk about other films, though, so let's discuss what I've discovered about The Incubus.The premise involves Dr. Sam Cordell (John Cassavetes - 1968's Rosemary's Baby), who along with his daughter Jenny, recently moved to a small New England town by the name of Galen. Uncommon for such a quaint atmosphere, a girl and her boyfriend are brutally attacked; the assailant reportedly raped her but there is no evidence to prove it. This creates a landslide of several other murders in which Sam, with the help of the town Sheriff, investigate these occurrences further to conclude the reason behind them. With each victim surfaces an interesting amount of evidence, or lack thereof. Meanwhile, a teenage boy experiences dreams and visions of the murders and believes himself to be responsible, involuntarily. What they find may be the work of something supernatural....The Incubus may start off alittle slow but the tension mounts nicely about an hour in. It's unfortunate that more excitement is unavailable earlier on. John Cassavetes does a great job performing the role of a doctor looking for answers. In addition, Hough manages to capture some interesting angles here and there to add to this delightful presentation. This film is best suited for a lazy Saturday afternoon - it's not awe-inspiring enough to captivate a group of your friends but it offers up a touch of spice and all things nice...that is, if you consider a supernatural chiller about a demon "nice."

destroall The movie to me is pretty good mostly cause i seen it when i was 14. so i show a lot of respect to movies i seen in my younger days. They keep with the old 50's 60's theme "don't show the monster" . that seems to make the movie move very slow. but to me the ending alone is worth the price of admission(rental).Good acting in horror movies never hurt anyone,Sometimes when people make horror movies they forget that they can be clever and still supply some gore and surprises but not be too scared to show us a little more than they do. This movie tried to get away with too little of the things we expect to see and deliver more on the thriller side , with that being said "Ilike it...

Backlash007 ~Spoiler~ 1981's The Incubus is a hard film to review. There were moments that are tense and scary, and parts that are cheesy and dumbfounding (I love Bruce Dickenson, but that Samson video was lame, not to mention out of place). The film's plot follows several characters investigating horrendous rapes that are occurring in a small New England town. Many of the tense scenes come from these rapes and murders. One sequence in particular starts in a barn and finishes in a bathroom; it really makes the movie. And I guarantee this did not look as good on paper. John Hough is a good director (although he has made some stinkers) and it shows here. Not to mention John Cassavetes. Cassavetes brings a class and a presence to the picture. I guess the ending was the deciding factor for me. The person the Incubus turned out to be didn't make a whole lot of sense. And why did it have to be a character? This would have been much better if it was just a creature and not one of the cast members. It was a nice, dark ending for a change, but it didn't mesh with the rest of the film. So I can recommend The Incubus for a rental and nothing more.

justin-korolischuk This is the worst film I have ever seen. I don't know what the crew was thinking when they shot this, but I'm willing to bet they spent the majority of their time crying. The sound is poorly recorded. The video is grainy and dark, making it difficult to tell what's going on. The actors (read: people who owed the director money) couldn't act for their worthless lives, and the story was not one of the best I've ever seen.SPOILERS: When the father tells the girl that she shouldn't get too close to the townspeople in the beginning of the film, what the crap was he talking about? That, like many other things in this film, never comes up again anywhere in this film. When the farmer is killed in the barn, he has his foot shot off, and in the next scene when he flies out of the hayloft it's still attached to his leg. The dreams the coroner has are creepy, to be sure, but once again, they never make any sense and they never come up again. The ending, what the crap was wrong with that ending?? How did the daughter die? Why did no one seem to care?The characters aren't all that endearing. In fact, I spent the majority of my time wishing the characters would die horrible, horrible deaths, and was severely disappointed when many did not. The actual incubus, when it was finally shown, was laughable. it looked like Swamp-Thing's retarded brother. Quite frankly all of the "frightening" scenes were laughable. Even the nudity, something you'd figure a director couldn't possibly screw up, was made to be creepy. SPOILER AGAIN: in the beginning, when the daughter is naked in the shower with the door open (okay?), the father just stands there for a good solid minute watching her. I assume that the terrible secret the townspeople can't know is they're incestuous, but once again, that's never explained. And did anyone notice that the supposedly small town has a surprising number of large scale office buildings and high-rise apartments and general large city-sized hustle and bustle?This movie should not have been made. I regret ever hearing about it, and the director should be beaten with the original master reel for ever thinking he should do this film. If you don't have the budget for proper scene edits, good sound recording and overdubbing, and acceptable screenwriters, don't make a movie. I can't imagine what the writer of the original novel feels about this film, but I'd be scared to find out.Avoid this movie. Avoid it like the crap-ridden garbage pile that it is. I know it sounds like I'm being overly negative, but if you feel that way, go ahead and watch the movie. Just don't say I didn't warn you.
