"Incubus" has attained mythic status among horror movie buffs [and] cult film aficionados...

—Donald Liebenson,
L.A. Times Calendar

"Incubus" ("le plus grand film fantastique depuis "Nosferatu", a dit Julien Green), apparition du démon: Pour sa voix, le metteur en scène Leslie Stevens a choisi finalement l'enregistrement des cris d'un cochon égorgé. Effet de terreur maximum.

—Paris Match

It's a metaphysical witchcraft picture. Lots of mist and people with horns. We shot it in Big Sur in black and white, very Ingmar Bergman.

—Incubus cinematographer Conrad Hall,
Entertainment Weekly

Incubus has the feel of experimental cinema, but with few of the rough-around-the-edges lapses associated with that sort of movie; it's innovative, moody, and expertly photographed by future Oscar winner Conrad Hall... the movie is nevertheless fascinating, each scene profiting from having just that extra bit of careful attention devoted to its filming.

—Fangoria

Visually, Incubus is reminiscent of Ingmar Bergman's The Vampire Spring, but few in this country have ever gotten a chance to see it.

—Paper

Hall, who recently shot American Beauty, lends Incubus a stunning visual quality marked by sharp, high-contrast images, lots of creepy night-for-night shots of smoky landscapes and a startling use of deep space. It makes the most of the scenery in Big Sur Park, where it was shot over two weeks in May 1965.

—Broadcast Week

The talent involved was remarkable... Leslie Stevens, an alumnus of Orson Welles's Mercury Players... Conrad Hall... William Shatner... sacrifices to the god of darkness... virtual rape... raising of the dead... gorgeous platinum blondes...

We even got some press in the German edition of Elle! Hope they said something good.
