"Elegantly photographed, intelligently edited, and filled with mesmerising performances, "Succubus" gives us a taste of just what Franco is capable of when blessed with a professional crew and cast — the direction is superlative; the script (co-written by Franco with the film's producer [who also acts in the film], Pier A. Caminnecci), is a complex amalgamation of surreal scenarios suffused with allusions to classic literature and Franco's favourite film-makers (everyone from Kafka to Frankenstein). The musical score ranges from cocktail lounge jazz to classical — often blended seamlessly. It's ahead of its time, predating Mario Bava's equally classy "Lisa and The Devil" (1973), and even looking ahead to contemporary works such as David Lynch's "Mulholland Drive" (2002)." - Blackgloves, Horrorview
