Plot Summary

A young woman, having survived a violent attack, is plagued by nightmares and increasingly fearful of her own reflection. As a series of gruesome murders begins to occur around her, she starts to suspect that the killer may be something far more sinister than a human being. She must confront her deepest fears to uncover the truth before she becomes the next victim.

Critical Reception

Incubus is a low-budget horror film that received minimal critical attention upon its release and is largely forgotten today. It is characterized by its cheap production values and an uninspired plot, failing to leave a significant mark on the slasher genre.

What Reviewers Say

  • Praised for its atmospheric attempts and a few unsettling moments.

  • Criticized for its predictable plot and lack of originality.

  • Seen as a forgettable entry in the 80s slasher boom.

Google audience: Audience reviews are scarce due to the film's obscurity, but those available tend to point out its dated special effects and a story that doesn't fully deliver on its premise, making it a niche watch for hardcore horror enthusiasts.

Fun Fact

The film was shot in Toronto, Canada, and was one of the early attempts to capitalize on the success of slasher films like Halloween and Friday the 13th.
