Movie Reviews

FEARnet - 4/10 by Scott WeinbergOK, the shrieking banshee head is pretty freaky.
User Review - 10/10 by ClarencenJosie RWe were scared by her awful screams and her ugly Banshee face. I GAVE IT THUMBS UP.
User Review - 10/10 by Vanessa MSpine-chiling and beyond frightening. Definitely not like any previous Syfy movie I have yet experienced.
User Review - 8/10 by Lindsey LSurprisingly, this was a pretty good movie to watch. It starred Lauren Holly, who is one of my favorite actresses, it was pretty original, and the deaths weren't so gory as to cross the line between thriller and flat-out slasher.
User Review - 6/10 by Justin JA really incredible and cool Monster Horror film from After Dark Originals but it is far from being perfect and it could have been so much better for one reason. Scream Of The Banshee is one of After Dark Originals' finest movies. It's nowhere as good as Seconds Apart, Husk and Prowl and it's far from being a scary movie. This has a really simple plot and Scream Of The Banshee is about a College professor and her friends who opens a mysterious box that later on reveals a head of a Banshee. But Soon they discovered that they unleash something evil when they discovered that the Banshee is now terrorizing them after opening the box and they soon discovered that they're gonna get killed by the screaming Banshee and the group must find someone who knows how to stop the Banshee's screams in order to silence the Banshee forever. Ok I admit that this movie could have been so much better. It is problematic and too Syfy like but on the inside the movie itself is an entertaining time killer. This movie has some of the most original ideas that After Dark Originals made. There are lots of really good moments with Scream Of The Banshee and the film has a really creative technique and it's really moody and dark on certain parts and it has a brooding feel as well and the movie itself is entertaining and never boring at all. What's great about Scream Of The Banshee is that the film has a lot of suspenceful scenes and there are lots of freaky moments in the movie. The scene where the group opens the box and the Banshee starts to scream is one of the most freakiest moments in a Horror movie and the Banshee's scream is freaky and loud as well. The way the Banshee screamed in this movie is great and I like how the Banshee screams and it really freaked me out whenever I hear the Banshee scream and I did like a couple of suspenceful parts in this film. The scene where Otto gets attacked by the Banshee is one of the most suspenceful parts of the movie and I did like how that scene played well and it was super scary and creepy as well for one reason. The scene that I also like is when Professor Whelan gets attacked by the Banshee and she gets stabbed with the Spear is one of the most intense parts of the film as well and I did like how the Banshee attacked her and it was great for one reason. The scene where Janie looks at the peeping hole of the door and the fingers appear is one of the most suspenceful parts of the film as well. What I also like about this movie is that the Banshee looks really scary and freaky as well and I did like how the Banshee looks like and the way the Banshee screams at every person and the way the Banshee kills people is one of the most impressive things I've seen in a Horror movie for a long long time and I did like the idea of the Banshee a lot. What I also like about this movie is that the film has a lot of impressive visual and practical effects and all of the practical effects in this movie are great and the use of practical effects on the Banshee is so cool and impressive and I did like the idea so far. The other things I like about Scream Of The Banshee is that the movie has some great kills though they are just a few. The scene where Janie gets killed is really gruesome and intense and the way her eyes gets ripped out is really gory and suspenceful as well. Lance Henriksen's death was gruesome and nasty as well. Kurtis' death scene was also a gruesome kill. While the rest of the kills are suspenceful and scary as well and I did like the kills in this movie so far. The biggest downside of Scream Of The Banshee is that the film is really Syfy like and the movie itself has a couple of unscary and unsuspenceful parts and the CGI in this movie is so Horrid and worse than 51's CGI. The scene where the projector is playing and smoke starts coming out and the giant CGI hand looks fake and boring plus it makes the movie look dull and comprehensive and the movie also has some tedious parts as well and this movie could have been so much better for one reason if it wasn't for those problems. Now the acting is great the performances of the casts is really good and all of the casts did a wonderful job with they're work in the film so far even Lance Henriksen did a fascinating job with his role in the film as well so far. Director Steven C. Miller could have done something better with this movie and I'm willing to see his first feature film Automaton Transfusion because this movie he made isn't good enough and I'm interested to see if he did a fascinating job with Automaton Transfusion and I'm interested to see his Silent Night Deadly Night remake when it shows in theaters this November 30 so I hope he does a good job with his next film because here in Scream Of The Banshee he almost handled it well and he almost went down the hill with this movie for one reason. Overall Scream Of The Banshee gets a 6/10 because the film has some of the most impressive styles in a Horror movie but it falls short due to several issues and problems in the movie. Try better next time Mister Miller.
User Review - 6/10 by Luke BPretty darn impressive for a Sy-Fy movie. The film sees a group of teachers at a school unearth the head of a banshee that soon sets out to kill. It sounds simple and it is. The reason the film works is thanks to the use of some pretty gruesome and effective practical effects and make-up. The 'horror' scenes are genuinely uncomfortable and unsettling, and I certainly didn't want to catch any of the banshee's incarnations hanging around my room. The acting is passable, although the stars sometimes have trouble handling the emotional stuff the script throws in. Unfortunately, there are still some massive mistakes, such as music that continues to swell despite having revealed some scares as fake-outs. There were a couple of laughable moments and the ending just goes off on its own tangent. Still, this is one of the most enjoyable and best B movies I've seen in a long time.
User Review - 6/10 by Ronnie SAn okay time waster. I haven't seen many banshee movies, so I can't necessarily compare it to anything. Definitely not low-budget Syfy crap, but not a super great horror film either.
User Review - 6/10 by Jason TA bit cheesy not remotely scary the only part I liked about it was the artifact and the tie in to a band of knights Templars
User Review - 6/10 by Bruce BNot the greatest movie I've ever seen, but definitely not the worst. I thought that it was beautifully lit, except when they were shooting at a higher ISO than was needed (creating a lot of noise). There was one or two parts where I felt that the sound wasn't up to par, or that the foley sounds didn't quite match what was on screen (ex: when Shayla blows into Kurtis' ear it totally sounds like a man). Other than that and a couple personal grievances here and there, I thought that it was a pretty original idea for a horror movie....Side Note: I bet you anything that they were intending for Shayla's hair to only have one blonde streak in the front, but after they shot the blood bath scene they decided to keep it red and go with it.
User Review - 6/10 by Ahmed Spretty good for a "direct to dvd" horror movie... good performance, and i must say that Macelle Baer has a promising future...she's talented, she has a pretty face and her performance is awesome...
