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

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 Liam D One of the most terrifying Found Footage movies I've ever seen and one of the most underrated Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/17/22 Full Review maurizio p far from being perfect but a plenty of good ideas and a sick, Burroughs like, atmosphere that I really enjoy. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 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 kevin c A woman starts to investigate after her friend mysteriously disappears after consuming a chemical the government used for mind control experiments. This is one of those movies that kind of gets under your skin. It's well made and it sucks you in to its world. Really good genre flick that requires your full attention. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
