    Interesting and ably done.

    Interesting take on demon possession and the battle of the good. Mexican border setting includes some subtitles but much is in English. More straightforward presentation of he material so at times it can feel "flat", but it does maintain and captivate enough that I enjoyed the film.

    MEXICAN HORROR

    I am a fan of horror movies and something that I criticize of my country is that Mexico does not do much film in this genre and those that have been done lately have left much to be desired. belzebuth I found it very entertaining with a good script that was possibly not well achieved .... It was a great surprise to watch this movie and find it something different from the horror that is made in Mexico and so explicit and a bit blasphemous .... I recommend you take your time and look at it without waiting for a summer blockbuster .. the cinema should entertain and in my opinion this film complies.

    A Bit Different But In A Good Way

    I enjoyed this far more than I expected to. I love horror and thriller films and I am a bit of a junkie. I'd rather watch stuff from these categories than any other so I've seen a lot of good and a lot of bad. I give credit where I feel it is due. This film deserves a bit of credit.

    I think the best part of the film is the idea or story of it. For me, it is unique. Out of all the religious horror films I've seen, this one took me by surprise and I like that. Now, it wasn't without it's problems. It took a bit of time to get it really going but once it did, I found it interesting.

    I was only familiar with actor Tobin Bell, who plays the well known sadistic madman "Jigsaw" from the SAW film franchise. His role here was as the dark priest Vasilio Canetti. He played his role well but dark, creepy and reserved are sorta his thing. The other actors did a decent job as well but as I said, I wasn't familiar with any of them.

    The scripting could've used some work. It would've benefited from a bit more detail but I am willing to overlook it for the most part. It also would've benefited from more actual horror. We didn't get to see enough from the darker side but that's just my opinion.

    I'd recommend it for anyone who has a fondness for religious horror. Demons, possession, end of days and fear or lack of religious understanding is all something that might lean you towards this film. So, check it out if that's your thing.

    What a movie!

    This was just the type of horror demonic movie I've been waiting on! I really don't watch too many foreign films but have this a try. Needless to say I was pleasantly satisfied. The lead actor could have been better but I could overlook that and still enjoy the film. I highly recommend you give this a watch.

    Pleasantly surprised. Hell of a ride.

    Saw this gem at the Lincoln center scary movie festival in NYC. I was really impressed. Very entertaining. Never slowed down & the tension kept escalating to a very dramatic finale. I've seen it all when it comes a to demon / exorcism films but this one has some new stuff that surprised me. Some very entertaining and fun scenes. The story is a bit wild I admit but it's very original and you'll never be bored. One of the wildest exorcism scenes I've ever witnessed on film. Enjoy!
