After the death of his mother Juan was thrown in the mental asylum by his scheming aunt and her three luscious daughters,who want to get their hands on the family fortune.Three years later when his therapy is finished Juan is released and returns to the small seaside town where his mother's abandoned home awaits as do his devious relatives.Juan begins toying with the residents of the seaside town while plotting his revenge against the family who had him unjustly committed."A Bell from Hell" is a twisted and darkly surreal Spanish horror film that has its share of sleaze and gore.It's a crying shame director Claudio Guerin Hill died on the last day of production,having either fallen or jumped from atop the bell tower that figures prominently in the film.There is an almost suffocating aura of menace in "A Bell from Hell".The scenes set in slaughterhouse are shockingly graphic.One can see rivers of blood,disembowelings,slit throats and dismemberment of cows.If you are a fan of European art-house horror Claudio Guerin's swansong is a definite must-see.7 out of 10.
