It seems I'm in the minority as far as my opinion about this movie which is fine with me since I'm constantly being harassed by the man. I saw A Bell From Hell as part of Mill Creek's 50 chilling classics collection. The sound quality on this film is so bad that it is almost impossible to hear what the characters are saying. It doesn't seem to have mattered since the plot doesn't know what the hell it wants to say either.
John has been recently released on a probationary term from a psychiatric institution. From there he works at a slaughterhouse for a day or days, the movie is not clear, quits and moves on. From there he returns to his childhood home that his been in the custody of his aunt. Angry that he was institutionalized wrongly by his aunt, John sets out to prove to the world that he is very much a disturbed individual. A plot line involving John's three female cousins and his incestuous relationship with them is thrown in to boot. John is also a practical joker. This seems to encompass most of his free time. Jokes get old. John gets old. Friends, family members and neighbors finally grow tired and the bell becomes Deus ex Machina to all. I struggle to care.
