The return of Belphégor
dbdumonteil15 July 2011
Obviously made to capitalize on the (deserved ) success of the miniseries which French TV broadcast the precedent year,this is a movie which is not far from worthless;the ending might suggest the writers had a sequel in mind ,but it was not to happen.No sense of mystery,ponderous comic reliefs ( including a gay couple) , cock and bull story,actors who could not care less .The scene when the young couple is sentenced to death is a rehash of the laser beam in "Goldfinger".

Deface this dud and try to get the DVds of the great "Belphegor" miniseries starring Juliette Greco which was really scary and mysterious.

Great "noir"
fornaroli1 October 2001
Great "noir" (more then horror) movie in 6 black and white episodes. When I saw Belphégor in 1973 (I was a child) I was amazed. The phantom of the Louvre was really terrific. I saw it recently, 30 years later, and I would consider it a "gothic" movie. I'm looking forward to see the forthcoming remake. Interesting sequences, at the beginning, showing Paris in the 60s. Yamato video sells it on tape (available in Italy).
