C+ Sound: C+ Extras: D Telefilm: C+
A
terrible curse is released when a college professor and her research students
discovers and opens an ancient artifact in a hidden room in basement of their
college. A severed banshee's head,
legend goes whoever hears the blood curling scream will die by the banshee's
hand and now, with the reawakened banshee killing them one by one, they must
find a way to stop this curse or die trying in Scream Of The Banshee.
Based on
Irish legends of the banshee, an ugly hag or beautiful woman that tempts
men (and woman) to their deaths. When an
ancient box is found, a professor and her students couldn't help but open and
find its contents, but after hearing the banshee's scream, the banshee begins
to haunt both their minds and bodies, slowly invading into their world. Now, the professor and her students must find
the way to seal the banshee again, unfortunately for them they recorded the
banshee's scream and is spreading the curse. They must find the one who place the box there
and find the knowledge in how to stop this banshee before another
dead body is found.
Another horror film, the costumes were fair but not all that impressive. The story revolves an overworked professor,
her students, and her truant daughter. As a teacher of science, she hardly believes
in curses much less a monster, but with banshee appearing in her mind and her
students dieing one by one she has no choice but to believe and fight this
horror. Extras include commentary with director and
composer.
