Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film
MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant
Aiden Melton The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Moviefreak I watched Banshee Chapter because the topic had my interest. Actually, MK ultra is a real experiment that was done between years of 1953 and 1973. The story-line of the movie was very clear and easy to follow, but there were really bad mistakes of the movie. They were unreasonable, and not even related to the stupidity of any character. These mistakes made the movie unrealistic. There were also some stuff left unexplained at the end of the movie, this also made it unrealistic. Even though, I was really captured by the movie and its jump scares. Some scenes were so tense that I knew a few jump scares before coming. Though, they still made me jump. If it was also realistic in reasonable consideration, I would find the movie much better. What I can say is that watch it if you are interested in the subject matter of the movie and if you like creepy stuff. And watch it as a creepy thriller movie. Otherwise, watching the movie would be a waste of time for you.
bradenbk I would like to clarify one thing: Despite being listed as one, this film is not a Found-Footage horror movie. Okay, it SORTA is, considering everything is filmed via camcorder, but the main character never notes that anybody is filming her, nor do any of the other characters seem to notice or care. I honestly thought this film was going to be really dumb going in...but i was sort of surprised...it wasn't a total waste of time. However i have one big complaint....THERE WERE WAY TOO MANY JUMP SCARES! There were 15 (yes, i counted) jump scares by the time this thing was over, and some of them come in packs! So in Conclusion, if you're interested, you might wanna take a look. If you're not interested, stay the hell away.
argento6 The BANSHEE CHAPTER is a Half fiction/Half documentary horror film that involves a project developed by the U.S government called MKUltra. The project having already existed of course was nothing to be compared to what we see in the film, which implies injecting a drug to a number of random patients in order to make them hallucinate. But going further into analyzing it would require much more reading for the moment.Suggesting that the drug would make people more aware of their surroundings, it starts with a Young writer having been able through his contacts to put his hands on a dose of the said drug. Soon after he injects it, he disappears without leaving a trace. An old friend of his, reporter Anne Roland (The Lovely and Talented Katia Winter) sets out to uncover the truth about her friend's disappearance and about the drug by the same way. If you've seen a little of T.V series Dexter and Sleepy Hollow or if you already follow them you probably know Katia Winter more than i do at the time but i liked her in this one. THE BANSHEE CHAPTER being a Half fiction/Half truth investigation, i doubt that fans of this type of horror movies will get out of this one having found a new favorite but this is more than Worth the Watch imo. The movie relies a lot on mystery and suspense, showing us threats but only in a calculated dose that you won't see or understand who or what is stalking its protagonists really clearly. But it does it well. Will result of this a couple good scenes of anticipation, a kind of thing that not many mystery horror or even slashers have done as effectively as the Extreme John Carpenter's HALLOWEEN in 1978. If you watched Halloween, you know what anticipation i talk about. There were other movies but quite Frankly, i think that Banshee Chapter plots its scares really well. And ain't that all that matters in a film like this one?
jamie25693 I went into this film purely because there was nothing else that sounded good/looked good online. But I was shocked with how good it was! The acting was spot on and the way that it was film literally put me on the edge on my seat. If I am honest it was not massively scary but it did have some eerie scenes but it was the way that this film was filmed which is why I enjoyed it. It was one of them films that you cannot get out of your head, that gets you thinking. One of the best horror movies I have seen in a while! If you get bored or cannot think of a good new horror movie to watch then you will be pleased with this movie.
