Scare-for-scare, the most frightening film I've seen this year.

Not scary. And you can't have the non-found-footage part be as wobbly as the found-footage parts.

"The Banshee Chapter" is both elegant and terrifying.

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.

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.

A smart, clever, and diverting little mash-up of numerous sci-fi and horror tropes.

This was a surprising movie to say the least. While a bit of a slow burn, the film carries an eerie intensity pretty much the whole way through. The character depth could have been fleshed out a little more, but the unique premise, great storyline, and solid performances by Ted Lavine and Katia Winter more than make up for it. Definitely not your average horror movie, and originality like this is a huge breath of fresh air in a genre plagued by sequels and remakes. Thumbs up for sure.

The central drama never fully engages, but the jolts that "Banshee" delivers are check-the-locks scary.
