There is an element of style that takes over Lucien Förstner’s Bela Kiss: Prologue, the assumed first film of a continuing story based on the myth behind the titled Hungarian serial killer. While the special effects consume the atmosphere during a portion of the narrative, there is also some really good photography and editing that makes the German production feel larger than it actually is. Förstner unfortunately extends the film, hurting the pacing of the slow-churning tale, to an overlong 106 minutes. The pacing issue, along with a mediocre script, keeps “Bela Kiss” from exceeding expectations.
The film begins with a composed stock footage summary of the investigation into the crimes of the infamous Bela Kiss. The film quickly transitions into a diverging story about a group of bank robbers retreating to a hotel deep in the woods. While waiting for further orders from an unseen boss, the group partakes...
