A demon flick with sinister scenes in which a brave hero fights the forces of evil ,containing weird happenings , a twisted love story and a surprising final . One of the very few movies made in artificial language of Esperanto , so it is subtitled in English. Creepily atmospheric , including eerie frames , rare events and amazing conclusion . This film has a sad history , being destroyed all prints , but eventually one copy was discovered by the French Cinematheque in París. Furthermore , the usually unknown actors had short and unfortunate lives , as Milos Milos , who played Incubus , murdered Mickey Rooney's wife and after he committed suicide at 24 , Ann Atmar also committed suicide and Eloise Hardt had a daughter who was kidnapped and killed . While William Shatner who gives a decent acting was subsequently hired for his immortal role of Star Trek's Captain Kirk and Allyson Ames married four times , one of them to director Leslie Stevens.
The flick is made in very low budget, but its few money is make up for the enjoyable cinenatography in black and white by expert cameraman Conrad Hall (Road to perdition, American Beauty, Tequila Sunrise, Fat City) and uncredited William A Fraker . Adding a mysterious and really strange musical score by Dominic Frontiere (The Stunt Man, Contact , Chisum, Barquero , Number one).
