Belzebuth, which is streaming on Shudder now, is the type of horror movie you watch that stays with you long after the credits roll. It is a scary movie that plays out in the perfect amount of time. While some movies drag on and on, they waste no time with getting the story started and keeping up the pace during the whole feature.
Belzebuth starts with Detective Ritter (Joaquín Cosio) being excited because his baby boy was just born. That happiness will not last because a nurse will go into the maternity ward and stab him several times before slashing her own throat.
The movie skips ahead five years and a young boy opens fire in a kindergarten class. He kills several students, some teachers and himself. Detective Ritter is called out to cover the case. It is a mystery why this boy did it.
As the country deals with that horror, a woman wraps herself with a live wire and jumps into a pool, killing several children and herself. Again Ritter is asked to investigate this case. Ivan Franco (Tate Ellington) shows up at the scene and tells Ritter the three crimes are all connected.
Together the two of them will look for what is connecting all of these horrific murders. They will talk to a psychic for guidance. As she looks for a connection with them, they find out that there is a very strong entity that does not want to be stopped.
The two men will go to Vasilio Canetti (Tobin Bell). He is a former priest who was excommunicated as a consequence for something he did during an exorcism. He tells them what the connection is and why they are out to kill certain children including Ritter’s son. The three of them will work together to protect a special little boy.
However, along the way, one of them will be possessed by a demonic spirit. The spirit will do everything in his power to kill that boy. It is a fight of good vs evil with only one winner. Who will it be?
Belzebuth was directed by Emilio Portes and written by him and Luis Carlos Fuentes. The film does not rely heavily on special effects which makes it even more terrifying. You feel you are there with them and all of this is really happening. Movies that are not CGI heavy are more believable and scary because they feel authentic. I cannot remember the last time a possession film went old school, but they made the right choice by not giving into computer graphics.
The movie takes place on the Mexican/USA border, so large parts of it are in Spanish. However, about a quarter of the way through, they switch to English and go back and forth from thereon.
Belzebuth is the perfect movie to watch with someone because it is too scary to watch alone. Make sure to Shudder and Shrill this weekend with someone special.

Today on the Jerry O’ Show, Jerry O’Connell did something he has never done before on television. He shaved his own lower back. He tested out several beauty gadgets and this is the one I can see being a huge hit. Especially with Rebecca Romijn!
Think about it, how many men do you know who have hair on their back. You want it gone, but there is no way he is going to do it himself. Mostly because just like an itch, there are parts of your body cannot reach. The only way you can help is by going in the shower with him and doing it yourself. But who wants to do that with your lover in there? There are other things you want to do.
Therefore BAKblade is the perfect gift because he can do it himself. It will be his little secret. He can hide it, just like we hide our little secrets!
Tomorrow is the last day of the Jerry O’ Show, so watch it on your Fox O&O or on YouTube anytime.
Towards the end of last season on Jeopardy, Alex Trebek revealed he was diagnosed with Stage IV Pancreatic cancer. After that diagnosis, we were not sure if he would be back to do another season of the popular game show
Today, he revealed that he is back at work on season 36. Not only that, he is done with chemo. He says, “I’m on the mend and that is all I can hope for right now.”
If that is not enough good news about him, he also celebrated his 79th birthday last month. A milestone, he almost didn’t make. He beat the odds and we will fulfill his three-year contract for the show. Then he will sign on for another three years and then three more after that and so on and so on.
With everything he has been through, he still has his sense of humor. When they asked him who should play him if they did a movie about his life. He said, “Betty White!” I can see that.
I am so happy he beat cancer and is back doing what he loves. Cancer never had a chance.
Alice Cooper and Rolling Stones’ Ronnie Wood were photographed doing the Tango, so do the two rockers have something to tell us? It is not that School’s Out for summer or that You Can’t Always Get What You Want. Instead, it is two old friends catching up. Oh, the stories they can tell.
Marlon Wayans plays all of the siblings (5 brothers and one sister) in Sextuplets and only two of them look alike. Therefore, he had to spend hours and hours in the makeup chair to give them all their own look.
HipHollywood got their hands on his transformation from skinny Marlon to overweight, balding Russell. As they start to put the prosthetics on his face, you can still recognize him. However, when they are done, he is completely unrecognizable. If you did not see the transformation for yourself, you would never believe it. I saw it, and I still don’t believe it.
