'Incubus' (1981) – John Hough.

While the hysteria-laden, small town shocker 'Incubus' falls short of 'The Manitou' or 'The Beast Within', John Hough's grisly creature feature maintains much of its deliciously demonized appeal! Some shock-seekers, perhaps, may find the gleefully girl-goring, nightmare-spawned behemoth unusually camera shy, the experienced director commendably orchestrates a number of splendidly overwrought, stridently shriek-slathered set-pieces! This undeniably formulaic frightmare is greatly enlivened by the capable cast, Stanley Myers atmospheric score and a luridly twisted finale! This darkly dreamt demon's especially brutal modus operandi still offers 80s Splatter Mad Hatters a memorably malefic display of Brimstone-blasted B-horror!
