Based upon true events this history of the Bell Family, adapted from the 1997 novel The Bell Witch: An American Haunting, this movie takes you back to Tennessee early 1800. Legendary actors Donald Shutterland & Sissy Spacek are taking away the better part of the movie, but it's up to newcomer Rachel Hurd-Wood, to star in this dark tale of mystery and haunting. After a dispute with his neighbor about some properties, father Bell (D. Shutherland ) is cursed by her. Since that moment on life isn't the same anymore. Betsy (Rachel Hurd-Wood), his daughter, frequently sees a little girl nearby the house and to top it a wolf is dwelling around. It becomes quickly obvious that only Betty is capable of seeing the girl and when dreadful nightmares starts to haunts Betsy we all know there is more going on.
Personally I think the acting is great, and especially the elegant and lovely Rachel Hurd-Wood is an actress we might hear more of soon. The story however is literally bleeding to the end and it soon becomes clear that the origins of her haunting and her nightmares are closer to home. Shame, because lot of the tension is gone once you know the story. On the other hand we can't forget that this is based on true events and that levels the film a lot.
Brent Monohan wrote the novel and Director Courtney Solomon wrote the screenplay to this movie. Best of all is of course the person who choose Rachel Hurd-Wood for casting Betty, who looks like a you Liv Tylor : Elegant, Elfish and above all breath taking.
