The Bell Witch Haunting is a 2013 horror film based on the story of the Bell Witch that haunts a modern American family. The film was preceded by others based on the same plot, Bell Witch Haunting (2004), An American Haunting (2005) and Bell Witch: The Movie (2007). [1]
In Tennessee, the Robertson County Sheriff’s Department releases a footage found on the cell phones and video cameras of the dead Sawyer family. What was first thought to be a murder-suicide is now believed to be the return of a centuries-old supernatural sinister force.
Rob Getz from Horrornews.net noted that "though utilizing the oddly tropical January climate in Tennessee... for a few pivotal witchy woodland shenanigans, much of the film takes place within the walls of the Sawyer home, owing a greater debt to the “ Paranormal Activity” franchise". [1] Getz added that the film is "slapping elements of " The Exorcist", " Darkness Falls" and countless others into the wildly uneven casserole" and that "watching this Amtrak jump the rails is never short of interesting".
