Unlike other 80s satano-slashers that only played at being sexist and gratuitously savage, THE INCUBUS walked the walk. Filmmaker Hough was already a veteran traumatizer after 1973s jarring THE LEGEND OF HELL HOUSE, but this movie chews a hole into horrors grimy underbelly and suckles its small intestine. Venerable actor/director John Cassavetes shook off some of his hard-earned critical credibility to star in this acutely harsh tale of a vicious demon that kills women using the most vile weapon on earth: SEX. Cassavetes is a concerned doctor who spends entire scenes hollering about each victim’s “ruptured uterus”. Come on, John...its already difficult enough to be a lady in this movie without that kind of talk. Come to think of it, this Canadian shockblast is the most misogynistic film in Terror Thursday history. Whoops. (Zack)
