Synopsis:
The long awaited feature film from director S. Shane Marr starring Betsy Palmer (Mrs. Voorhees - Friday the 13th) was the first movie about the Bell Witch to be shot, with principal photography ending in November 2002. Marr, a High Definition purist, says the film’s release was held until HD viewing capabilities were more readily available to home viewers. “We shot Bell Witch in 24p 1080 HD back in 2002,” Marr says, “but we decided to hold the film until it could be released in HD so that people could see it as it was meant to be viewed.”

Bell Witch: The Movie retells the haunting legend of The Bell Witch of Adams, Tennessee, a historically documented haunting that took place in the early 1800s.
