Incubus (1981)

A small town sees a series of murders which involve women being brutally raped.  Dr. Sam Cordell, who oozes an unsettling sleaziness, comes to believe that it is the work of something not human due to the severe injuries sustained by the victims and the massive amounts of red semen found at the scene.

In a subplot, the doctors daughter has a boyfriend who has nightmares of women being raped and murdered before each murder occurs.  He becomes the prime suspect, especially after stating that he can't remember what happened and thinks he might be the murderer!

The most ridiculous part of the movie is when Dr. Cordell decides to induce sleep in the boyfriend which will cause him to dream and another murder to take place. Way to go, doc!  

The other ridiculous scene takes when a band featuring Bruce Dickinson performs at a theater in town.  It just comes out of nowhere and they do silly light effects, which are kind of cool but very much the stuff that was impressive in junior high.
