Bell Witch: The Movie

I grew up knowing the Bell Witch legend since Betsy Bell Powell eventually settled and died in my home county. I've actually been to the Bell farm in Robertson County, but the cave was closed at the time so I wasn't able to tour. First of all, the Bell farm is in the rolling hills of Middle Tennessee, not the mountains of Eastern Tennessee. And while some of the details of the "haunting" were depicted correctly in the movie, I have never heard the part about Williams (Richard) finding a body in the cave from which he removed decorated pins. And the actor playing John Bell was all wrong--he appears to be at least 20 years younger than John Bell would have been. As someone else mentioned, Lucy Bell was quite a few years younger than John, but in the movie she looked 20 years older. I don't know why they couldn't just stick to the legend as it has been told over the years without making up events; the legend itself is terrifying enough.

Wasn't sure what to expect when I started watching this movie but I was pleasantly surprised. Good acting and Loved the music but the best part about this film is that I was able to watch it with my family and not worry about some woman running across the screen, no top on screaming profanity and covered in blood. They should make more family friendly scary movies like this one and I am a big Betsy Palmer fan from way back in the 50's and her voice was really creepy as the Bell Witch but what I also enjoyed was the DVD extras with Betsy talking about how she got into show business and some of her life experiences with acting.

I have always loved the story of the Bell Witch. In fact I have a copy of the original Bell Witch book written in 1894 by M. J. Ingram. This is the true story,the way it really happened and this movie Bell Witch follows this book. I am so glad they did not change it like Hollywood always wants to do, the real story is scary enough. You can tell Big River Pictures did their research for the movie. I really liked how they took the audience back to the 1800's. Everything looked authentic. The story was well written,the movie was intense, but had some fun times, like a roller coaster ride. Loved the music... especially the songs that were written just for the movie...per the web site and the CD. It was shot beautifully, and all the acting was great! I have added this movie to my permanent collection...I do not know Shane Marr but want to thank him for making this movie..I recommend it to families and fans...but be warned...it will stick with you and it will scare you... Yes, I believe the Bell Witch is real!!

Despite some clever innovations (in marketing, not for the film making for SURE) this was putrid! The "story" of the Bell(e) Witch is well known in the Smoky Mountain area, but somehow much of the "facts" stated in this movie are merely legend at this time. This was presented in such a way as to villainize a woman who has never been proved to have conjured, called, or evolved into the entity found within this cave. You would be hard put to find anyone locally who would dispute that there is, indeed, SOMEthing in that cave, but I am highly disbelieving of the story as it was herein told. Sorry, Cinemarr, but this was about the lowest-classed production on film since Abomination by Brain Dead Productions. It doesn't rate a rating from... the Fiend :.

This revue by the "Fend" or what ever his name is was posted about a year before this movie came out, It was taken down once by IMDb but he waited and put the same review back up, There was no way he could of ever seen film before it was released, His revue is bogus, It was Taken down once before by IMDb.
