Exciting thriller, 5 December 1999
8/10
Author: ag-nor from Trøndelag, Norway

This movie is known under the title "Bells" in my country. Bells is a exciting and unusual thriller about a killer who kills people with the help of the phone (he sends some deadly sounds through the phone). The movie is made with skill and have great & convincing actors who really takes the job serious. The plot is good and makes you feel the tension in the film. Recommended

I give it 8 out of 10
