‘One of the best horror movies of 2023’
Lionel Ray Green
Inspired by true events comes Sorry, Charlie, an unapologetically terrifying horror from director Colton Tran (The Bell Keeper, The Sex Lives of College Girls). The film is out now on UK Digital platforms including to rent/buy on Amazon Prime Video from Miracle Media.
Kathleen Kenny (African Giants) gives a standout performance as a survivor of a brutal attack by a violent serial murderer and rapist labelled ‘The Gentleman’ who lures unsuspecting women from their homes with a recording of a crying baby.
Following the devastating assault, helpline volunteer Charlie (Kenny) now lives a reclusive life, having cut herself off from her family and friends, haunted by the trauma.
Despite her attacker supposedly arrested and behind bars, Charlie can’t shake the feeling that she’s not alone. Isolated and afraid, her paranoia grows. Is there someone stalking her, or...

When the opening scene ended with a pretty cool and gory death, in what was a traditional but fun slasher film build-up, my hopes were kind of high. It feels like we have had very few new slasher movie villains to get excited about. Of course, Michael Myers, Chucky, Ghostface and more are still going strong but other than Art the Clown in the Terrifier franchise, no one seems to have lasted for more than one movie in more recent times. So when Randy Couture is standing tall as Hank, giant axe in hand, things were looking up. But the movie doesn’t quite pan out the way I was expecting.
The Bell Keeper follows a group of friends, including two brothers, who travel to a campsite at Lake Bell.

The new slasher-demon-slayer film, The Bell Keeper, takes too many notes from Evil Dead. We have Randy Couture as the new Thor—I’m sorry, an axe-wielding killer—who has himself become an urban legend near a lake called Bell Lake. The film plays everything by the book, including every trope possible and trying to make its own self-aware jokes on the subject. Not only does it come across as corny, but sometimes it all looks like it’s done in poor taste. Despite all this, The Bell Keeper isn’t half bad and somehow manages to be entertaining. Some of the dialogue really makes you want to turn off the film, but if you do decide to stick around, it can be a funny distraction. Let’s get into the film.

The Bell Keeper opens on a reasonably strong note for what appears to be an indie slasher. An axe-wielding figure, we’ll later find out his name is Hank, dispatches a pair of victims and adds their driver’s licenses to the collection on his cabin wall. The only as to why, “You shouldn’t have rung the bell”.
This happens at Lake Bell which, as the newspaper headlines under the credits tell us, has a long and evil reputation that includes lots of brutal deaths and mysterious disappearances. So of course filmmakers Gabriel, and Matthew want to make a documentary about it.
So they, along with their girlfriends Megan, Holly, and Liam Matt’s little brother who happens to own a camper,...

"You shouldn't have rang the bell!" Screen Media has revealed an official trailer for an indie horror thriller titled The Bell Keeper, the latest from young filmmaker Colton Tran. It's heading to VOD in October, yet another new horror film releasing during Halloween Season. A group of friends travel out to a campsite with a mysterious bell that summons a murderer if you ring it at midnight. Their plan to debunk the myth and film a documentary goes awry as they discover that the truth is stranger – and far more frightening – than fiction. What they find is something much more sinister than they could have ever imagined... Starring Randy Couture, Kathleen Kenny, Reid Miller, Chaz Bono, Bonnie Aarons, and Mike Manning. Yeah it looks as bad as it sounds. This used to be the kind of direct-to-bargain-bin crap we'd all laugh at. My guess: they'll turn into demons, Couture is just slaying the demons.
