Bell From Hell - 1973 - 5/10
AKA - La Campana del Infierno

Moody, Spanish film I have tried to like a couple of times without success.
Young male, released from asylum (criminal? mental?) roars off to the family estate.
Now presided over by a surviving aunt and her three daughters.
Did she loot his inheritance? Was she responsible for his mother’s death?
Was his mother crazy? Did he inherit her instability?
A lot goes on, to be sure. and hard to fathom for this observer.
Every copy I have watched is horribly dubbed, dialogue muffled beyond belief.
The visuals are dark and blurry, indicating an nth generation copy.
Imaginative touches help, but not enough, and the film becomes a bore.
