Incubus

This is a good horror movie. Also interesting is William Shatner's commentary and him talking in Esperanto in the movie.

I had thought for years that my hours and hours of learning Esperanto, and my ensuing service in my school's Esperanto Education Club, were all going to be in vain, much like the time I got my car's dials and gauges converted to the metric system. I hadn't used my second language in years...and then I found out about "Incubus", which is ENTIRELY in Esperanto!

I'm not a big fan of subtitles, but I am a big fan of Esperanto and William Shatner, so I quickly got over my objections. Pretty soon, it was like the subtitles weren't even there. I enjoyed the film so much, I'm even working on a reunion of our club! Once again, I'm proud to be an Esperanto speaker. Mi parolas Esperanton!!

Lost for 30 years, feared destroyed, rediscovered in Paris France, INCUBUS's history is interesting enough for it's own documentary! Milos Milos, the guy who played the title character, murdered Mickey Rooney's wife and commited suicide soon after the film's release. Others involved with the movie suffered similar bizarre occurances including financial ruin, another suicide, kidapping, and more murder. The film itself is a dark tale of good ultimately overcoming evil. It stars a young William Shatner as Marc, a soldier who returns home to live with his sister. Marc is singled out as prey for a beautiful demon (succubus) named Kia (Allyson Ames), much to the dismay of her sister demon. You see, Marc is a good guy, pure of heart, an oddity who is irresistible to Kia. She wants to lead him to destruction, thereby giving the devil quite a gift! Well, Kia finds out that goodness is nothing to be trifled with when Marc falls in love with her, and wants her to be with him forever! Kia had figured on luring him into a quicky, then on into the pit of doom. Instead, she gets in WAY over her head! This causes her to be "defiled", and calls for vengeance in the form of the aforementioned incubus, who seeks out Marc's sister to defile her in the old fashioned way. Kia lures Marc away so the incubus can do his nasty work. This leads to Kia's downfall, as she comes face to face with the love stirring in her own heart. INCUBUS is one of those movies that transcends it's genre. Like CARNIVAL OF SOULS, NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, SPIDER BABY, and a handful of other indies from the early / mid-sixties, INCUBUS proves that a masterpiece can be made on a microscopic budget. Everyone should see this at least once...
