Belzebuth

Non wide-release horror films. I mean at least this one is genuinely a supernatural horror flick and not just a thriller disguised as one. Though the the "theological premise" is woefully outside the pale of orthodoxy if you chose to not try to analyze it this film is an enjoyable little diversion perfect for Saturday night on the couch.

Most Christ child/possession movies have a particular formula. Christ is here and demons try to stop him. You can figure out pretty quick who's on what side from the start. This one though kinda keeps you guessing until the last 10 minutes. All I watch are horror movies and I was surprised with this. You think it's dropping a hint one way then it turns it on it's head and makes you question that hint you just saw. It's really interesting and I highly recommend it!!

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!

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.

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.
