Jux Jonas is stuck deep in the heart of Texas with his friends Oren and Conrad after an emergency plane landing. Soon, they realize they're far from safety, stranded in a strange community where the locals seem under the spell of a voice from a short-wave radio owned by a local rancher. Will they ever escape? Also co-stars Norris's famous father, Chuck, in a supporting role.

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."

my friends and I are always on the lookout for chuck norris films to just bash and make fun of. One of our favorites so far is Lonewolf. i went to a wal-mart Christmas shopping and i came across this movie in the 5.99 bin. i had to get it. i had high hopes for this movie and although being absolutely hilarious at times, we agreed that bells of innocence is the worst movie we've ever seen, made, produced, thought up, etc... who the hell would think this is a good idea. not only is it confusing at times, but the acting is just hard to watch. the man who plays oren has acting i can compare to my own vomit, and chuck took a dive on this one, he's not the greatest actor, but this was terrible. and what kind of names are oren, conrad and jux........ jux. come on people. if you honestly thought this movie was at all watchable, great for you because it was hard for me and i seriously had a headache and stomach pains after watching it. I'm telling you now if you haven't seen this movie, DON'T!!. For the love of god please do not subject yourself to such a horrible 90 minutes of your life.

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.

It appears as though some people have a major problem with anything dealing with Christianity. Lets face it Christianity is a live and well and very much a part of many peoples lives today. As for me, I have been to Mexico on 7 different occasions, each time bringing with me Bibles. I am not Catholic, and the Bibles I brought were excitedly accepted. This movie focuses not on anything more than Good vs. Evil, only it comes from a standpoint of Angels vs. Demons, with the Angels being victorious. It does not come across as a fundamentalist Christian movie trying to cram beliefs down your throat. As a matter of fact, there were about 3 or 4 inappropriate words, as well as an angel that smoked cigars and handed out beer. If this were fundamentalist Christian as some have asserted, this would not have occurred. Overall, a pretty good movie.
