This is easily a film that has cult status. A succubus is tired of luring men to their deaths because its to easy with the evil in their hearts so she decides to try and get the soul of someone with real goodness in his heart and finds William Shatner who is a soldier nursing a wound and living with his sister. The succubus falls in love as does Shatner but the succubus and her older sister get angry and conjure up the Incubus! Very low budget film was shot around a park in Big Sur, California. The film was shot in black and white and has a "Night of the Living Dead" meets "The Seventh Seal" type of look about it. I actually liked that part of the film. The great Conrad Hall was the cinematographer and a year later would get his first of seven Academy Award nominations. The dialogue is in Esperanto and I know nothing about that language but from what I have read its spoken only so-so by the actors. There is the usual Shatner mannerisms and over dramatizing but he's not that bad here. The music is by Dominic Frontiere who did some Star Trek and Outer Limits episodes and I heard the same piece of music can be heard in The Outer Limits. Sounds like a cross between "The Dark Shadows" and "Taxi Driver". Well acted, well photographed and some effective mood was established in this odd little film and that in itself is more than enough reason to check it out. Definitely has cult status!
