Review: BELZEBUTH (2017) – Cinepocalypse 2019

June 15, 2019June 4, 2020 Jim Morazzini Belzebuth, CINEPOCALYPSE, Emilio Portes, Joaquín Cosio, Mexican Film, Raven Banner Entertainment, Tate Ellington, Tobin Bell

Belzebuth starts out strong with the hospital massacre. Perhaps a bit too strong as it leaves several later scenes looking weak.
