Sukkubus
Sukkubus - den Teufel im Leib
Sometime during the 19th century in Switzerland: After a delirious night of drinking, three herdsmen who are all alone in the alps with their kettle, create a female doll from cloth and a strangely formed wooden root. When their creation comes to life in form of an evil and beautiful female demon, they have to fear for their lives...
Why it matters
Sukkubus (1989) delivers a chilling folk-horror descent into Alpine superstition where primal fears take flesh in uncanny, handcrafted terror.
- A rare Swiss entry in ’80s folk horror, blending isolated mountain dread with demonic folklore.
- Practical effects and eerie puppetry give the demon doll a tangible creepiness that CG can’t touch.
- Slow-burn atmosphere steeped in Alpine isolation and 19th-century superstition—think ritual unease meets cabin fever.
- For fans of unsettling regional horror and occult tales that prioritize mood over jump scares.
