HELL'S BELLS is the story of two aging idiots who accidentally make a deal with the Devil to fulfill their life-long dream of being rock stars and the hi-jinx that ensue when it's time to pay the Reaper.

Hell's Bells is a new feature-length film by John Bock. Developed over the last five years and shot in Germany in 2016, the film is styled as a contemporary Western. It interweaves the familiar story and stock characters of the genre with the theatrical and anarchic mode of Surrealism for which Bock has become known. The story unfolds in a gloomy, nocturnal realm - an indistinct conflation of reality and dream - centering on an unnamed town. Against a backdrop of simultaneous industrialization and grinding poverty, Bock tells the story of a stranger (played by Bibiana Beglau) who arrives in town pursued by mysterious guilt. She is accompanied by a young deaf girl, who emerges gradually as a powerful force - telepathically controlling the course of the story. A conflict develops between two other characters - the local priest (Ulrich Matthes) and a diabolical, dandified villain (Lars Eidinger) who plays with Death in the style of a medieval demon. Each character is revealed to be burdened by a different kind of guilt - stemming variously from the loss of a child, the loss of morality, and the loss of religion.

Whether they're on a ride, at a bar, or chillin' at their awesome skate-park clubhouse, the Satans keep boredom at bay with elaborate pranks, outrageous stunts, and plenty of booze. No one has a regular job and that's just the way they like it. Because these tattooed misfits are busy revving their tiny engines, and they simply refuse to grow up.
