The victims of his mind games are revealed as being more twisted than he is. 'A Bell From Hell' tolls from early seventies Spain, and unfolds in a dreamy, fractured manner. It feels more 'art house' than genre, but gothic references (particularly to E A Poe) abound. Highly recommended - might make a pleasing companion for 'The Cannibal Man', another elusive and ambiguous early seventies Spanish art-horror gem. A word of warning, though - it features some truly upsetting scenes of abattoir slaughter.

Great movie

Reminds me, i've not hounded shameless or Arrow for a restoration for a while. Time to get my stalking hat back on
