Interesteg What makes it different from others?

Bardlerx Strictly average movie

Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

FountainPen 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.

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?

begob Basically a missing person mystery with heavy reliance on sound/shadow jump-scares.Intriguing opening sequence, followed by a dull start to the investigation, where the pace flags. This is recurrent, and the story has to jump start with ... you know. Too many moving parts, I reckon, and it feels a bit contrived, always having to explain itself.Jump scares? At least ten. The first few are very effective, making me blush in my girly reaction. But near the climax you can tell the actress has been directed to angle the torchlight away from a dark space because there's going to be a ... Jump!Scare! Is it down to the scene itself, or audience fatigue? Hmmm.The actor playing the Hunter Thompson type stoner novelist is very good. Not impressed with the lead - standard strong woman issue, but she left me cold anyway.A lot of reviewers have praised the sound structure - thought it was good, nothing special.A Venn diagram of the story would overlap Cthulhu/alien/libertarian paranoia. Strangely it delivers a clunky anti-drugs message in the penultimate location - should have applied that to ... you know.ps. the novelist's voice is unmistakable - but I had to confirm on the Silence of the Lambs page.

HorrorBuff235 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!
