Such a frustrating disappointment

Please don't spend money on this.

hyped garbage

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Despite a few flaws that one can easily look past, this movie had strong acting, natural and flowing pacing, and an atmospheric soundtrack that make Banshee Chapter into a likely cult favorite among obscure movie fans.The music/transmitter acted as the 'unholy knowledge' and the chemical took the form as the way to access it. While Blackburn was downplayed as having a pivotal role in this movie, further reflection portrays him as a kind of sorcerer/ghoul that worked out how to get access to the experiments for his own nefarious ends (when he states that the government always messes up what should be beautiful, even though he took the discards to develop his own drug).

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?

Well, after having read facts about so called "number stations" before watching this movie, I was really interested in the subject. This one had passed under my radar for a while, so I didn't have very high expectations. But, I was wrong.There is a plethora of documentary-style, found footage-movies out there as you all know, so one automatically becomes a bit wary when a movie has that kind of feel to it, and therefore it's easy for serious film-buffs with at least some demands on reality-based content to pass on one flick that is really well put together and scary indeed too.This film is quite unique in it's storyline, dealing with intelligence-agencies's shady dealings, taking the story further and incorporating sheer horror. It somehow becomes more credible when the outset is/could be very real indeed.The actors do their parts very well here, keeping a low key, reality-style performance, and not really overplaying anywhere, giving it a far more involving, real feel than most other horror movies. If one wants to dig deeper in the subjects told here there is a lot of both chillingly real events that have actually taken place to read about, as well as theories of more fictional character.There is plenty of "shock-moments", but also a constant creepy, unnerving atmosphere that is rarely found in other movies anywhere, and you can't really see where things are going until they unfold. It tends to stick with you after you've seen it and set your own imagination going.So, if you like horror movies, thrillers and a story which has plenty of non-fiction parts in it, see this one and be prepared for paranoid nightmares afterwords!

It is quite rare nowadays to find a horror film that is genuinely scary and, although others may disagree, I was pleased to find that this was. I stumbled across it when I was home alone and couldn't find anything else to watch. I came away from the film feeling intensely creeped out with that song at the end credits stuck on repeat in my head. The premise is loosely based around the covert MK Ultra human trials carried out in the late 60's early 70's by the CIA - For more information Google Project MK Ultra. Our story follows journalist Anne Rowe as she tries to find out what happened to her friend who disappeared while researching material for his book on Project MK Ultra. I won't go into more detail as I don't want to spoil it for anyone who may read this. I would definitely recommend this film to someone else as I enjoyed it immensely. In fact, I have seen it 3 times now and it still creeps me out!
