The Incubus. A B&W horror film so obscure i don;t know if it's been mentioned here. Basically an artsy horror film unique for being filmd in esperanto (Sounds just like spanish to me) and starring william shatner. It also used music from the outer limits. Too artsy for me.

I HAVE heard of it. I saw a couple clips. Made not a lick of sense to me!
It was a favorite of FJ Ackerman, because he was loony enough that he actually spoke Esperanto. I loved Famous Monsters as a kid, but the more I learn of FJA, the crazier I think he was.

I seen a remake of the CABINET OF DR.CALIGARI (1919) called DR.CALIGARI (1989).
That was like a bad local theater play done by hippies with no talent.

Watch it again in the right spirit and you might like it better. The acting is bad, the dialogue is deliberately bad, but the sets are amazing and it's wild as hell.

It was co-written by a porno director and a heroin addict, and it shows! (I mean that in the best possible way).

One of my cheap DVD sets has a '90s vampire flick called "Nadja" on it, which was very "artsy," and I hated it.
