Arrow Video's 4K Limited Edition of 'Incubus' impresses with a stunning restoration in 2160p featuring HDR10 and Dolby Vision, though limited by the source's French burn-in subtitles and occasional detail issues, achieving remarkable tonal richness in its black and white cinematography.

Audio: 73

The 4K UHD release of 'Incubus' features an unusual Esperanto LPCM Mono audio track, offering a thin yet serviceable sound with a notable hiss and Dominic Frontiere’s score sounding tinny at times. The dialogue and effects improve upon these elements despite occasional burnt-in French subtitles, all complemented by optional English and Esperanto subtitles.

Extra: 93

The Extras of the "Incubus" 4K UHD Blu Ray offer a well-curated selection, featuring multiple commentaries, a newly reconstructed isolated score track in LPCM 2.0, and engaging documentary featurettes on Esperanto's cinematic history. The presentation is technically proficient with commendable clarity and synchronicity.

Movie: 63

Despite 'Incubus' being a visually stunning film with Conrad Hall's remarkable cinematography and featuring William Shatner's memorable performance, its potential is undermined by a thin narrative and heavy reliance on Esperanto as a gimmick, leaving intriguing themes largely unexplored in its brief runtime.
