I WATCHED THIS MOVIE IN THE THEATRE AND WAS VERY SATISFIED WITH IT.
THE PLOT RUNS GOOD.THIS MOVIE CAN KEEP YOU GUESSING...WHO IS THE INCUBUS.
A REMARKABLE FILM.FIVE STARS ALL THE WAY.

This early 80's indy horror classic holds up surprisingly well. Sure its pretty low budget but John Hough's brilliant direction and creative camera use makes the most out of a so so screenplay.The Incubus isnt shown until the end of the film and the Make up on it is pretty Cool looking. John Cassavette's performance is pretty solid and darkly brooding easily over shadowing the lesser acting talents here. I dont want to give away the cool twist ending but,they should have shown Cassavette's ripping some sh_t up after the revelation of the Incubus!!! That would have rocked...;)

Not really, unless you have some very strange dates. I first saw this movie on an afternoon horror/sci fi theater program on commercial television, and found it intriguing and also wondered what the movie actually was like without all the commercials and station breaks. After watching it, I am glad it is available on DVD. However, the movie has wooden acting, somewhat repetitious in the murders and the blood special effects are poor. The movie takes place in New England, but the car of the main character has Wisconsin license plates. A man shoots off his foot, but is thrown out the side of a building showing both feet intact. But, after all this is a B-movie and still enjoyable. There is obviously a red herring in the plot but you may or may not figure it out. I am not sorry I bought the DVD as it is a good example of movies of its type (for horror content and when made). I only wish it were a bit less costly. It is not a high budget movie and does not have Oscar quality acting, but then I didn't expect it to have anything different. A worthwhile addition for one who is collecting movies of its type. Certainly a cut above the rest for movies of its type made in the early 1980's.

the band playing while bad things happen in the bathroom is Sampson(mr.dickinson's screen debut)

I just finished watching this movie on DVD and I simply don't understand why it has such so-so reviews. Cassavetes gives a fine performance(as usual), it's violent and gory, and the ending is nice and twisted. I miss horror films like this and wish more were made. Too many folks now have been spoonfed junk by the likes of Wes Craven and company for over the past 15 years, which has unfortunately caused some movie goers to expect flash, dumb characters, stupid stories and highly marketable villians. Of course I'm not saying that this film is high art or anything but it is highly creepy, has some nice camera work, good performances, and doesn't treat the audience like they were a four year old. If you haven't seen it then give it a look. You might like it.

The movie was ok, the story line was presented ok, if you like really weird horro its a good watch.

It's always refreshing could see a good scary movie using your imagination from time to time, instead grafic, gore violence like today's movies.

Along with your precious time, this bottom-of-the-barrel Canadian production wastes the presence of John Cassavetes. Even John Ireland deserves better than exploitative rubbish. "The Incubus" (1982) is recommended only for the most indiscriminate horror fan.

I liked the movie, had it and leaded to someone and it came back messed up. Well like i said liked the movie but the case was cracked, for the price of it,it should've been in better shape.

Ha! I just had to get this tape in my library. It's not a great movie but I thought it was back in the day. You don't get to see the monster until the end but it's definitely amusing.
