If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
Good story, Not enough for a whole film
It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.
All the interesting moments were squeezed into the trailer. The rest of the film was disappointingly bland and not thought through. I liked the general idea and some of the concepts that were introduced in the movie but really disliked the execution.
Another horror flick you can write off very quickly, though I did watch this all the way through, HOPING it would eventually prove worthwhile. Nope! It is a pretentious attempt that fails miserably. I had thought the presence of actor Ted Levine would help, but while his character was amusing, he could not save this nonsense. Again, we have a film that was shot largely in near-darkness. The female lead has a strange voice which is difficult to follow; she seems to swallow her words. Perhaps she's attempting an accent which is not natural to her. I struggled with her speech. Overall I rate this motion picture a 2, simply because of Ted Levine.
BANSHEE CHAPTER is a weird little horror flick that offers something different to the usual ghost or stalk-'n'-slash thrills. The plot incorporates government mind-testing, a 'ghost' radio station, government conspiracy, an anarchist writer modelled on Hunter S. Thompson, and aliens, alongside some traditional ghostly spirits designed to pop up in scare scenes and spook the viewer.It's not really all that successful because the plot ingredients are all over the place. At times this strives to be a found footage flick and at other times it just plays out normally. I did like Katia Winter's protagonist, who's more intelligent and less of a screamer than the usual horror heroine, but the real stand-out performance here comes from an unrecognisable Ted Levine (SILENCE OF THE LAMBS) as the boozy, washed-up writer who gets drawn into a sinister conspiracy. BANSHEE CHAPTER is a weird little film all right and fans looking for something different might just find something to tempt them here as the creepy atmosphere is spot on.
This movie was outright creepy and that's why it's my #1 favourite. I recommend that you DO NOT watch this at night. The Banshee Chapter was a mix of mystery and horror which perfectly blended together to create something horrifying. The broadcast that was trying to be solved was rather disturbing and there was also a major jump scare near the beginning that you would never expect. Normally, with those corny horror movies, you can usually tell if something is about to jump out (aka- the creepy music starts to play). But this movie, however, was nothing like that and you just can't predict when it's going to scare you which makes it the best horror movie I have ever seen. The only thing I was confused about was the broadcast, which they never really explained.Solid 10/10 :D
