Poster of Bell from Hell
  • For those who think that Spanish exploitation consists only of Paul Naschy monster mashes or a Jess Franco mind meld, I give you A Bell from Hell, a slow-moving but nevertheless fascinating film about greed and dysfunctional families. … Moody, evocative, depressing, A Bell from Hell is not a fun experience, but there is a richness behind its melancholy as the film says a lot about family relationships.

    Danny Shipka, Perverse Titillation: The Exploitation Cinema of Italy, Spain and France, 1960-1980 (McFarland, 2011)
