Scare-for-scare, the most frightening film I've seen this year. Go to Full Review
Alonso Duralde What the Flick?! 01/13/2014
Not scary. And you can't have the non-found-footage part be as wobbly as the found-footage parts. Go to Full Review

"The Banshee Chapter" is both elegant and terrifying. Go to Full Review

5/10
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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review
Scott Weinberg TheHorrorShow 08/23/2015
A smart, clever, and diverting little mash-up of numerous sci-fi and horror tropes. Go to Full Review

Claudio C Aug 1 Banshee Chapter (2013) There Are Similar and Better Movies from the 70’s and 80’s (11,867 – 31 Jul 2025 – by Claudio Carvalho) In the 70’s and 80’s, several movies about secret experiments using drugs from the US Government and the CIA affecting ordinary people were released. Therefore, the story of “Banshee Chapter” (2013) has no originality. The low quality of filming and lighting of “Banshee Chapter” are other points to be highlighted. The acting of Katia Winter and Ted Levine are excellent but not enough t hold the poor story. If I may give some advice, do not waste your time watching this film since there are better options. My vote is four. Title (Brazil): Not Available My Blog: https://maniacosporfilme.wordpress.com/ See more Bruce M @BruceMc Jun 24 Good acting, interesting concept, good sound design. However, the found-footage/documentary aspect gets old very quickly and since every shot in the movie is hand-held, stylistically the choice makes little sense. Extra point for Katia Winter, though. See more Demented N 12/11/2024 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. See more Nathaniel B 07/15/2024 Banshee Chapter lacks a narrative. That’s okay though. Even with a low budget it offers some scary and exciting moments. See more Diana S 05/06/2024 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. See more 04/04/2021 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.
