Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWes Craven compared his work with actor Ernest Borgnine to John Carpenter's work with Donald Pleasance in the original "Halloween". He states that Borgnine was the first "big name actor" he had worked with and was at first intimidated by the actor.
- GoofsThe cult members only accuse female characters of being the Incubus. In folklore, however, an Incubus is an exclusively male demon, the counterpart to the exclusively female Succubus.
- Quotes
[in reference to Martha's land]
Vicky Anderson: If I owned a piece of property like this and I kicked the bucket, my parents would start building condos on it on the way home from the funeral!
- Crazy creditsThe end credits start rolling before the narrator's dialogue is finshed.
- Alternate versionsIn the British version, to avoid what they might call confusion, they omitted the "finale" in which the incubus ascends from hell. This version runs 98 minutes.

Featured review
Cool little Craven tale.
A nifty little thriller that involves three best friends consoling each other after the murder of one of their husbands. Out in the middle of rural USA the ladies are threatened by the local religious sect (the Hitites) for which the husband was once a part of. It seems one of the Hitites incubi is on the loose killing the yokels and not even the sheriff can stop it. A good cast of recognizable faces (Sharon Stone, Ernest Borgnine, Michael Berryman, etc) and an above average (but not very original) script into a sometimes thrilling film. Did anyone notice that the bathtub scene looks very familiar (think NOES). Suspiria10 says B-
