The story of Beezel is told over the course of 60 years, the film broken into four acts, each taking place in a different decade. The setting is a suburban house, the basement of which is home to a hideous flesh-eating witch, whose victims are provided by the owner of the property.

The premise is a good one, and the first three segments do a great job in building the atmosphere and tension as people investigate the gloomy basement or poke their noses into dark recesses, with the threat of Beezel suddenly emerging from the shadows to rip off their head. And that one jump scare involving the care nurse and the old woman is a belter.

Unfortunately, instead of building to a suitably crazy climax, the film fizzles out in the final act, with a very disappointing ending that fails to do the rest of the film justice. It's not helped by the fact that the acting in this final part of the film isn't the best. It's a shame, because director Aaron Fradkin's handling of his film is, for the most part, very good, an impressive mix of standard storytelling and found footage, with great sound design and a wonderfully unsettling creature.

Fradkin is definitely a talent to keep an eye on, but this one fails to live up to the hype.

5.5/10, generously rounded up to 6 for IMDb.

I dug the atmosphere when this movie started. The acting was not bad and it pulled you in pretty well to both the time periods being covered. I was left excited to see where things would go from there, but sadly, that was the high point.

The real low point is the finishing act. While we hope to go out strong, poor acting on the part of the male lead in that act really brought things down. I was pulled out of the action with the flat dialogue and the poor effects (outside of the under the bed scene that was really solid).

The issues here are all too common for movies of this nature. Sadly, I'd recommend a skip unless you simply watch everything and anything in this genre.

Directed by Aaron Fradkin and co-written by Aaron Fradkin and Victoria Fratz Fradkin, the latest horror feature combines (what they claim to be) "found footage" with (again what they claim to be) traditional narrative to create a downright terrifying story that spans decades.

After 82 minutes of watching I found their claims to be false! This half-baked horror film covers over six tumultuous decades, three unwitting guests of a cursed New England home who all stumble upon a sinister secret dwelling beneath its floors-an eternal witch with an insatiable thirst for the souls of the living! Do not ask any questions like Why and How, only When, Where and Who answers were there!

Beezel is out on VOD... and I hope it stays there forever... for suckers like me who expected so much more! Than a film shot in the director's childhood house recollecting his childhood nightmares as scares in the film.
