Succubus Kia (Allyson Ames) has grown tired of her task to seduce
sinners and then send their souls to hell, she has now set out to seduce
an innocent, pure man - much to the dismay of her sister Amael (Eloise
Hardt), who warns her that pure men have this weapon called
"love" ... Well, of course Kia doesn't listen to her sister
but tracks down the especially pure Marc (William Shatner), a hero wounded
in the war and thus forced to spend a few days with his sister Arndis (Ann
Atmar) whom he loves very much. Kia appears at the siblings's house
pretending to be a girl who has lost her way and is in need of some food
and drink. Marc is immediately drawn to the pretty girl, but is the
perfect gentleman about it. However, she makes him forget about his
sister, who stares directly into the sun during a solar eclipse and is
thus blinded. Marc meanwhile takes Kia to the sea, where they spend a few
romantic hours. When it starts to rain though and she's sleeping, he
carries her into the next church - which shocks her, a devil spawn, to no
end. She flees in a panic of course, leaving behind a puzzled Marc, who
has long fallen in love with her. Amael tells Kia Marc has infected her
with love, and thus summons the Incubus (Milos Milos) to have revenge on
Marc by having his sister defiled in a black mass while Marc has another
romantic day on the beach with Kia. Upon returning, Marc is overcome by
rage and thus he fights the Incubus, and Amael sees to it that he kills
the Incubus, too, so he's from now on not pure anymore. Gravely injured
himself, Marc drags himeself to the next church for redemption. Kia has of
course long given up on dragging him to hell as she has really fallen in
love with Marc - but when she wants to follow him into the church, she's
slaughtered by Satan himself on the church's doorstep. Incubus
is a weird movie, not only because it is one of the very few movies shot
entirely in Esperanto, but also because it mixes a very simplistic and
basic horror story that's not exactly held together by clever storytelling
with a very ambitious visual style that's much more reminiscent of the
best films of Ingmar Bergman than any horror movies at its day.
Furthermore, the emphasis on atmosphere and the deliberately slow pace put
this movie further apart from its contemporary genre entertainment. It's
said that the film was a hit at festivals (before all the prints got
destroyed in an accident safe for one that resurfaced only decades later)
and it's easy to see why. But that said, the film is no masterpiece, it's
at times a bit too wannabe-Bergman, the cast seem to at times struggle a
bit to align their Esperanto dialogue with their acting, and the story as
such is indeed a bit flimsy - but it's a very interesting little movie
nevertheless!
