Review – Incubus (1966)

Sorry, but I just can’t get past the Esperanto. It sounds like a blend of Italian played backward and the nonsense that comes out of Robert Tilton’s mouth when he “speaks in tongues.” Nerd-oriented “secret twin language” aside, this mediocre horror movie is way too arty for its own good. William Shatner and a cadre of fellow Esperantese laconically chew their way through a script packed with boring demons spouting over-wrought dialogue. My cat appeared to really enjoy it, or at least pay close attention to the screen for several minutes. Personally, I found it considerably less engaging. The demon-goat-rape sequence at the end was particularly off-putting. Wish I’d skipped it
