THE BELL WITCH HAUNTING is another cheap found footage horror flick based around a real-life haunting case in America. This was made by The Asylum, so at least they're taking a break from the usual rip-off movies they churn out. The film involves an ordinary family moving into a supposedly haunted home and subsequently finding themselves menaced, variously by possession, strange events, and bizarre behaviour. There are a few spooky scenes here and there, typically the ones which are more understated than most, although the whole thing is overwhelmingly familiar and passe at times. I did like the handling of the possession scenes which at least don't go down the usual all-out overacting route.

A family moves to Tennessee and buys a home that was on the land of the Bell witch. They set up cameras and you know the rest. This film is far worse than the Paranormal series. Perhaps the bright spot was cutie Catherine Alter who played a teen who had her own blog "Dressing with Dana." The teen son also had a camera as did Policeman Bungalon who had a shirt cam, the house was wired, and even the bonehead electrician had a cam, "Get Electric with Denny" (GED). All this added up to a bunch of herky-jerky motion of stuff we have seen before and better and just about yesterday. The house had a pool, I'm surprised they didn't steal the pool crawler too.

Teens who can't get enough of the Paranormal hand held stuff might like this, but I found it boring, except for the playful ghost (that uses strings) to remove covers off of sleeping teen girls in bra and panties.

Parental Guide: F-bomb. No sex. Topless girls by pool.

Being a Robertson County resident, knowing the real stories of the Bell witch this movie SUCKED!! When you grow up right down the road from Adams TN you hear all the stories and it would be nice to actually see a movie about the Bell Witch that was actually about the Bell witch!! Plus how are you going to have a movie set in TN and have the date as Jan and have a pool party??? Did someone not do their research or was this just another screw up and they got the dates wrong like they got the mothers name wrong?? Also it isn't Adams County...it is Robertson County, Adams is a City....and the cops that would have responded would have been county but "Robertson County"...again do a little research 1st!!!! Plain and simple this movie was a waste of time!
