ADDITION: Mondo Macabro Blu-ray (April 2022): Mondo Macabro have transferred Georg Tressler's Sukkubus to Blu-ray. It is cited as being from a "Brand new 4k transfer from film negative, digitally restored". It looks quite strong - on a single layered disc with a supportive bitrate. It's in the 1.66:1 aspect ratio. It has decent detail - and often hand-held - proving a consistent 1080P presentation. Not stupendous, but very watchable and a clear notch above SD.

On their Blu-ray, Mondo Macabro use a DTS-HD Master 2.0 channel track (16-bit) in the original German language. Sukkubus has aggressive moments but it's faithful to the period without gunfire etc. just some extensive gore with rendering of a cow and one of the three men. It's mostly mocked-up. There is a score by Rolf A. Wilhelm - who is quite the journeyman - and has been composing films scores since the 50s. It does, subtly, add some flavor via the lossless transfer. Mondo Macabro offer optional English subtitles on their Region 'A' Blu-ray.

The Mondo Macabro Blu-ray offers an interview with the lead actor Peter Simonischek for about 1/2 hour - in German with optional English subtitles. He's amiable and nice to hear from. He's been doing many TV movies since the 80s. There is also a trailer for Sukkubus an the typical Mondo Macabro previews. 

Georg Tressler's Sukkubus is a modern 'folk horror'. It's unique and kinda cool with an obvious erotic proclivity. I loved the concept; old-worlde cattle tenderers - alone in the picturesque mountains - and a pair of the three get drunk one night - accidentally summoning a 'succubus' via their lecherous desires - although it's more like an evil spirit. A succubus of legend - would result in poor physical or mental health, even death. There is dialogue delving into the ancient perception of the folk-based she-devil and their attempts to eradicate her (tying her to a rock so a cow has sex with her, as one example.) She seduces them from a distance with the intent to avenge their wild night of debauchery seeking femme-fatale-like cold-blooded murder. No, it's not a noir. Mondo Macabro continue with their catalogue of highly interesting films. I had never seen Sukkubuss and I was keenly enjoying my viewing. I thought it was worthy of a commentary. It's not going to win any awards but there is an imaginative, and creepy, element to it that many will appreciate. The Blu-ray provides a 4K-restored HD presentation of an intriguing film. Those keen on 'folk horror' should check this out. I can see watching this again.
