PUNQ

Rated 26 Jul 2016

By the late silent era France were still busting out quality serials. And while Belphégor doesn't have the following those legendary films of the teens it stars the actor that made Fantômas famous, René Navarre, for suspenseful detective story lasting 3 1/2 hours. Best thing is the cinematography. Very expressive when it wants to be! The story progresses well too, but does suffer a little from it's uneven pacing. Though I'm not complaining about the exciting scenes. Brought chills even!
