Belzebuth

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!!

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.

Initially I wasn't really expecting much from the 2017 movie "Belzebuth", but still as it is a horror movie, of course I gave it a chance. I am a big fan of the horror genre after all.

Turns out that "Belzebuth" from writers Luis Carlos Fuentes and Emilio Portes actually turned out to be rather entertaining. You quickly get submerged into the story and director Emilio Portes takes you on quite a ride throughout the course of this movie.

The storyline is nicely constructed and there isn't really a dull moment to the movie. The movie quickly picked up its pacing and never really slowed down. I enjoyed how you are kept in the dark throughout most of the movie, not really knowing what is going on, which meant that the movie wasn't as predictable as you might have feared it to be.

The special effects in the movie were quite good, and that was a nice surprise. Especially since I wasn't really expecting that from a movie such as this.

There are aspects to the storyline which might not really fall in good taste with some viewers, as there is focus on child killings throughout the course of the movie. Luckily this is done rather delicately, I think, and it doesn't cross over the line where it becomes grotesque.

Joaquín Cosio really performed quite well and carried the movie phenomenally, and it was also nice to see Tobin Bell in such a role, and he definitely brought a lot of enjoyment to the movie also.

It should be said that "Belzebuth" doesn't really bring a whole lot of new material to the horror genre, or to the demonic possession movie as such, but it is still a rather enjoyable and watchable movie.

I am rating "Belzebuth" a sound and solid six, six, six out of ten stars.

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.

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.
