A film like The Bells is the bread and butter of 1920s silent films. It is a
well-made production, but one that is undistinguished in its visual and technical aspects except by the special effects. The effects are very good, advanced for their time and imaginatively executed. The increasing frequency of the apparition's appearances, and increasing duration of the visits, are result and marker of Mathias' loss of self under the cloud of his guilt. A sequence where Mathias first hurls verbal abuse (and his wine glass) at the apparition and then sits down to play cards with it is particularly striking.
