I will never understand why this genre has survived. The original found footage films were great but there's really no way of taking the genre to another level. This problem only allows for trash like this to exist subsequently wasting my time. The only reason this has a 3 star rating is because someone got triggered by all of the 1 stars and gave it a 7.

I never usually review a movie, but I chose to review this one to save anyone else from wasting their time waiting for the good part to start. If you are bored and looking for something mildly entertaining maybe this is for you, as it was in my case. However, as a scary movie fan, this was very disappointing. Most of what was in this movie has been done before in others, far better might I add (made identical to Paranormal Activity). The reactions of the characters made very little sense, for instance: they are more worried about scratching noises and pots and pans than the father and pipes vomiting red bloody goo... When events happened in the movie, there was no follow up, leading to many loose ends. Something major would happen, and come the next scene, it was never mentioned again. This was the biggest problem I had with the film. Also no one seemed concerned that several people were found brutally murdered, all of whom were in contact with this family prior. Things like this made the movie even less believable. All in all this was a decent movie for jump scares, but the plot was underdeveloped and disappointing. I feel the movie would have been far move successful if they had actually done their research on the bell witch and put more effort into the plot than the effects and crappy gore deaths. Also note since this movie is a "found footage" type, there are a lot of jerky camera movements that, at times, make the movie far less enjoyable for some. If you are looking for quality or decent plot this isn't it. But for some mild laughs or scares, this satisfies that. I am not sure why they even base this movie off the bell witch legend.. It is mainly poltergeist/demonic activity and then they occasionally show a lady with messy dark hair and what looks like a store bought Halloween dress. I guess this would be the witch, although I have seen my trick or treaters in scarier and more legitimate attire...

I really wish there was a positive note to my first review, not gonna happen.Unless I was meant to laugh so hard I may or may not have weed my pants.This has to be a joke, right? I wasn't expecting too much, at least I wasn't let down, much.I have seen a few movies on a tight budget, but they still were a decent watch.This was absolute rubbish.I'm still trying to figure out why I even watched it to the end.

There's some found footage films that are great...then there's a good seventy percent that are down right awful. The Bell Witch Haunting is not only a terrible film but it is quite possibly one of the worst films I've ever seen. The acting is awful, the story makes absolutely no sense and the scares come and go without ever really developing a sense of dread or suspense. There is also a ambient stock sound that portrays the "demon" that sounds so fake and superficial. It's one thing to use a specific sound to implore anticipation to the audience but its a totally different ball game when it sounds cheap and lazy. It makes us feel like we are cheated. The ending never really builds up to much except for a complete gore fest that feels more like something out of a Jason Vorhees film, not a supernatural thriller. Bottom line, this film is cheap, lazy, ludicrous, and so poorly made that it makes The Room look like a modern cinematic masterpiece. Do yourself a favor, do NOT watch this. It is by far one of the worst films I've ever seen.
