Dylan Scott Vox Scare-for-scare, the most frightening film I've seen this year. Oct 19, 2018 Full Review Alonso Duralde What the Flick?! Not scary. And you can't have the non-found-footage part be as wobbly as the found-footage parts. Jan 13, 2014 Full Review Sheila O'Malley RogerEbert.com "The Banshee Chapter" is both elegant and terrifying. Rated: 3/4 Jan 10, 2014 Full Review Emma Wolfe SpookyAstronauts The main issue I had with the film was the climax which I felt just came to a head point at a very weird time, and I just wasn't really sure about the whole formula of the film. Rated: 5/10 Apr 16, 2021 Full Review Abbie Bernstein Assignment X Although it relies to a large extent on found footage, fear not the format -- The Banshee Chapter is actually a well-made, delightfully acted and best of all honestly scary brain twist of a horror movie. Rated: B Jan 17, 2019 Full Review Scott Weinberg TheHorrorShow A smart, clever, and diverting little mash-up of numerous sci-fi and horror tropes. Aug 23, 2015 Full Review Read all reviews

Demented N Rotton Tomatoes gives it 777% fresh rating the fans 40% enough said its almost like critics are scared to be negative and call trash , trash. Anyhow it's not very good. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/11/24 Full Review Nathaniel B Banshee Chapter lacks a narrative. That’s okay though. Even with a low budget it offers some scary and exciting moments. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/15/24 Full Review Diana S Seemed like a carbon copy of a million other supernatural experiment-gone-wrong horror movies at first and for quite a large chunk. But it took a quick and out-of-the-ordinary turn in the last quarter, and the ending wasn't what I was expecting. I also appreciate that the writing trusts the viewer to infer information, though I don't know how effective that is with today's audience, unfortunately. In my opinion, this movie is worth sticking with to the end. I was thinking about it for 24 hours afterward. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/07/24 Full Review Audience Member Cheio de jump scares baratos, tem uma premissa interessante mas o filme não soube explicar direito, apesar do didatismo. Tem uma protagonista com um motivo fútil super corajosa, afinal quem vai para o meio do deserto sozinha onde estações de rádio suspeitas possuem sinal forte, somente para descobrir o que aconteceu com um amigo? Ou se coloca em risco de experimentar uma droga mortal pelo mesmo fim. Aliás esse filme está cheio de furos no roteiro com erros ridículos que chegam a irritar, é difícil levar esse filme a sério. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Very effective, creepy and awesome. One of my favourite horror movies to date. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Very original horror film. Highly recommended. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews
