seriously and i can easily stomach a lot of on screen blood and gore and repulsiveness and but what really make this film disturb and uncomfortable to watch be how the doctor character keep on ramble about the physical damage do to rap woman . he and john cassavetes of rosemary baby and talk about rupture uterus and dry intercourse and massive load of reddish ( . ) sperm like they be the most common little ailment in the world of medicine . that be say and incubus be an ultimately strange horror effort . it isn not necessarily awful although it isn not very good and neither but just plain weird . the muddled and incoherent script initially revolve on the hunt for a rapist killer of flesh and blood ( even though the title clearly suggest the involvement of a supernatural creature ) and it never seem to stop introduce new character . none of these character and especially not the main one and come across a sympathetic and for some never explain reason they all seem to keep dark secret . the aforementioned doctor have an odd interpretation of daughter love and continuously behaves like he a suspect himself and the town sheriff ( john ireland ) appear to be in a constant state of drunkenness and doesn not even seem to care about who keep rap and kill the woman in his district and the female reporter be even too weird for word and the galen ( an old witch and her grandson ) be just plain spooky . all together they desperately try to solve the mystery of whom or what exactly be destroy the town woman reproduce organ . the sequence build up towards the rape and murder be admirably atmospheric and the vile act themselves be bloody and unsettling . basically these be very positive factor in a horror film and but the narrative structure be too incoherent and the character be too unsympathetic for incubus to be a really good film . also and there be quite a few tedious part to struggle yourself through ( like footage of a bruce dickinson concert . ) and the usually very reliable john hough direction be nearly unnoticeable . the final shot be effectively nightmarish and though . for me personally and incubus be a bit of a disappointment and but there be still several enough reason to recommend this odd piece of early 80 horror to open mind genre fanatic .
