Horror On The Lens: Incubus (dir by Leslie Stevens)


Remember Esperanto?

Esperanto was an international language that was briefly promoted by one-world government weirdos but which never really caught on.  Four movie have been made in Esperanto but only one is still remembered.  1966’s Incubus features William Shatner, giving a very Shatnerish performance, as a solider who is tempted by a mysterious woman.  The cinematography of the legendary Conrad Hall gives this one a very dream-like feel, even before everyone starts to talk.

Yes, this movie has subtitles.  But, so what?  Who hasn’t wanted to see William Shatner speak Esperanto?
