The UFC champion wields a mean ax as a mythical killer come to life, while the star of THE NUN films looks on.

Directed by Colton Tran from a script by Joe Davison (100 TEARS), THE BELL KEEPER is coming to theaters and VOD platforms October 13 and DVD December 5 from Screen Media. It stars Randy Couture in the title role along with Kathleen Kenny, Reid Miller, Cathy Marks, Mike Manning, Bonnie Aarons (the eponymous demon in THE NUN and THE NUN II) and Chaz Bono. The synopsis: “A group of friends travel to a haunted campsite with a mysterious bell. According to legend, if you ring the bell at midnight, a murderer will appear. This group’s plan to debunk the myth goes awry as they discover that the truth is stranger–and far more frightening–than fiction.”
