Byleth: The Demon of Incest is a little Italian gem that features murders, gratuitous nudity and enough brother/sister incest for an episode of Game of Thrones.
Let's get right to the point. It's not good. It is slow and the lead Mark Damon as Duke Lionello is not great.
The movie revolves around Duke Lionello, his sister Barbara and Barbara's new husband Giordano. This is a problem of course since Lionello and Barbara have been having an incestuous affair. An affair that Lionello is loathed to give up.
The movie does make use of the demon Beleth, which is expected. At one point Barbara asks her brother, Lionello, if he still has his white horse. They later talk about "Byleth" on his white horse.
Of course, you are never sure if Lionello is possessed by Byleth or just crazy. I like to think possessed because that is what I do here.
The Severin Blu-Ray version is really good. There are some color issues from the original negative, but otherwise, it looks great. Too bad the movie could not live up to the hype.
