It is based on the novel The Bell Witch: An American Haunting (1995) by Brent Monahan. The events in the novel are loosely based on the legend of the Bell Witch, who allegedly haunted the Bell family in rural 1810s Tennessee. The film documents the Bell family's supernatural experiences, which are paralleled with a contemporary 21st-century subplot involving a young girl plagued by similar events experienced by Betsy Bell. ## Credits - **Director:** [Courtney Solomon](https://cinepixo.com/people/courtney-solomon) - **Screenplay:** [Courtney Solomon](https://cinepixo.com/people/courtney-solomon) - **Producer:** [Courtney Solomon](https://cinepixo.com/people/courtney-solomon), [Christopher Milburn](https://cinepixo.com/people/christopher-milburn) - **Original Music Composer:** [Justin Burnett](https://cinepixo.com/people/justin-burnett) - **Director of Photography:** [Adrian Biddle](https://cinepixo.com/people/adrian-biddle) - **Editor:** [Richard Comeau](https://cinepixo.com/people/richard-comeau) ## Cast - [Rachel Hurd-Wood](https://cinepixo.com/people/rachel-hurd-wood) - [Donald Sutherland](https://cinepixo.com/people/donald-sutherland) - [Vernon Dobtcheff](https://cinepixo.com/people/vernon-dobtcheff) - [Sissy Spacek](https://cinepixo.com/people/sissy-spacek) - [Miquel Brown](https://cinepixo.com/people/miquel-brown) - [Matthew Marsh](https://cinepixo.com/people/matthew-marsh) - [James D'Arcy](https://cinepixo.com/people/james-d-arcy) - [Susie Almgren](https://cinepixo.com/people/susie-almgren) ## Criticism on CinePixo No reviews published yet.
