Incubus is a 1966 US horror by Leslie Stevens
Starring William Shatner, Allyson Ames and Eloise Hardt
There are no censorship issues with this release Summary Notes On a strange island inhabited by demons and spirits, a man battles the forces of evil.
UK:
Uncut and BBFC 15 rated for sexual threat:
Promotional Material EVIL HAS NEVER BEEN SO SEDUCTIVE. It is often said that films about the Devil are cursed with bad luck, but Leslie Stevens' Incubus might be
the most cursed of them all. By the time it premiered in 1966, two of its stars had tragically taken their own lives; the eccentric director's insistence on filming in the obscure Esperanto language ensured it failed to receive any distribution; and it
was nearly lost forever when the original elements were believed lost in a fire. Decades passed until it was finally saved and unveiled to the public in all its unholy glory! Wounded in battle, soldier Marc (William Shatner, just prior to being
cast in Star Trek ) ventures to the remote village of Nomen Tuum to find a well where the waters are said to be blessed with healing powers. Little does he suspect that the inhabitants of Nomen Tuum are demonic
seductresses who entice interlopers and lead them to damnation, and one such succubus, Kia (Allyson Ames) has her sights on Marc. As an eclipse shrouds the sun and darkness falls over the village, Marc and Kia's relationship becomes more passionate...
will his soul survive? Now restored in 4K from the last known surviving 35mm print, this eerie and unforgettable American folk horror from the creator of The Outer Limits survives to chill a new generation as
never seen before. Stylishly filmed in Big Sur and other California locations by cinematographer (and future Academy Award winner) Conrad L. Hall, Incubus is a film unlike any other, now accompanied by hours of bonus features delving into the mysteries
of this once-thought-lost cult classic. LIMITED EDITION BLU-RAY CONTENTS

Promotional Material Carly Norris (Sharon Stone, Basic Instinct), a new resident of the chic, high-tech, and ultra-thin (like a sliver) Manhattan apartment building 113, is a divorcee looking for a good
time. She finds that in her neighbor Zeke (William Baldwin, Backdraft), a wealthy video game designer-cum-playboy who harbors a dark secret which her other neighbor Jack (Tom Berenger, The Substitute) is all too willing to go into detail on. As Carly
