Review of Incubus

Incubus (1966)
5/10
love wins over evil
5 June 2002
William Shatner's name was enough for me to view this film, and I was not disappointed. The first 5 minutes or so I almost stopped viewing because it was a low budget film, but I wanted to see just the Shatner was going to do in this movie. He played Marc, a soldier that is recovering from a wound and is living with his beloved sister. Kia is the evil woman that leads men to their death, but all of these men were evil in the first place and were easy to trick to their death. Kia wants a real challenge, a man that is good in which she can put all her tricks to use, a battle of good vs evil. Marc is a hero because he faced death for the good of his men. Kia meets Marc and decides that he will be the one in this battle. Kia doesn't know the power of love, and gradually falls in love with Marc. He is totally in love with her and cannot see the evil of the incubus or of kia's mentor, an older woman who is totally evil. The sister is killed because of the blindness of Marc's love. The climax of the film ends with Kia's evil nature submitting to the good of love, but the ultimate price of the battle falls upon both Marc and Kia. A film worth watching.
