In a small town, Roy Seeley (Matt Birman) and his girlfriend Mandy Pullman (Mitch Martin ) are camping by the lake. Out of the blue, they are attacked and Roy is murdered while Mandy is violently raped. Dr. Sam Cordell (John Cassavetes) is impressed with the violence and realizes that Mandy has had the uterus ruptured. Then the librarian Carolyn Davies (Denise Fergusson) is also violently raped and murdered. Lieutenant Drivas (Harry Ditson) believes that the women have been raped by a gang while Sam and Sheriff Hank Walden (John Ireland) believe that only one man did. The snoopy reporter Laura Kincaid (Kerrie Keane) is always interfering with the investigation and Sam has a love affair with her. Meanwhile the young Tim Galen (Duncan McIntosh), who dates Sam's daughter Jenny Cordell (Erin Flannery), discloses that he has premonitory visions of the deaths, but his grandmother Agatha Galen (Helen Hughes) tries to convince him that he has nothing to do with the murders. But when Jenny learns about his dreams, she summons her father and Laura and they discover a supernatural secret about the Galen's family.
"Incubus" is a horror movie with an intriguing story, good cast including John Cassavetes and beautiful cinematography. Unfortunately the screenplay is not well written and characters are left behind without explanation. The worst, the deceptive conclusion is awful, since incubus is a demon in male form in folklore that seeks to have sexual intercourse with women. Therefore the conclusion is not in accordance with the legend and is incoherent. My vote is five.
Title (Brazil): "Incubus"
Note: On 05 November 2022, I saw this film again.
