Bells of Innocence (2003)

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Everyone has an opinion. Certainly, there's a good reason that this movie didn't get nominated for an award. It's simply a B-horror flick complete with cheesy contrivances, and music that rather than setting the mood, told us what was going to happen. However, the movie has strong points such as: 1) Chuck Norris-As Matthew he's cool as ice, proving you don't have to hit someone to be intimidating-particularly if you're Chuck Norris.2) The film while suffering from some predictability kept me watching by making me wonder, "What exactly is going on?" Yes, the Devil's working in the town, but what the heck is he doing? The movie revealed exactly what over the movie and kept the audience's attention.3) The movie opted for weirdness. Movies can stumble into blasé or they can stumble into completely cheesy, but weird is a choice. The people of the town, the leader, and the peacock joke all made this like a Mexican border version of Fargo if you think about it long enough.So is it the greatest movie of all time? No. Is it the worst? I'd suggest that people who say that need to expose themselves to "The Beast of Yucca Flats." "Bells of Innocence" is a B-movie with a positive message. For those of you expecting something else, to paraphrase the great Forest Gump, "The $5.50 DVD bin at Wal-Mart is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're going to get."

This is the type of movie I enjoy. Christian based movie that show the truth in our everyday walk. A movie that shows how Satan can take control of your life if you allow it to happen. It shows putting your trust and faith in God is the only way to go. Mike Norris did a awesome job of a father who lost his daughter . He shows how a parent can be so hurt in the lost of a child. But it also shows his strength in his walk in God. It also shows how no matter how hurt you are God remains within you. I also enjoy seeing Mr. Chuck Norris having his granddaughter in the movie. She did a wonderful job playing the part with her uncle. I have heard that Mr. Mike Norris would like to do more Christian based movie. I think it would be a awesome. I do not enjoy the shows out now with the poor language and sex sense in them. Mr. Norris go for.

I gave this movie a rating of 1 because it is by far, the worst movie I've ever seen in my life. This movie was made in 2003 and I've seen movies made in the 60's with better special effects. I wish I could go into detail, but words can't describe how crappy this movie was. I could have done better with a home video camera and $20! I pray that Chuck Norris never makes a movie again. Now If you think I'm downing this movie because it has a Christian theme, you're wrong. I like the fact that IL' Chuck decided to make a movie that at least attempted to make God look good, but why would he make poor viewers like me suffer through such a crappy movie? This whole film can be summed up in 3 words: RE DAMN DICULOUS.

This is one of the darkest Christian movies I have ever seen (and I have seen a lot of Christiann films). Bells of Innocence tells the story of three men who crash in the desert when taking a small airplane to deliver bibles to a town in Mexico. They come upon a mysterious town that is being controlled by an evil force. The acting is pretty good. The visual effects were good at the beginning and during the middle of the movie but I think their quality went down somewhat towards the end. The movie does well in its attempt to depict the struggle between good and evil. The story is pretty easy to understand although I got a little bit confused with Mike Norris's characters death at the end. I would say the movie is probably not suitable for children, who could get scared from some of the scenes.
