The Curse of Belphegor

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.
