When a college professor opens a strange box on campus, it unleashes a terrifying figure from Irish legend called the banshee which begins to run wild on the students assisting her and must gather up the few figures who know about the beast to stop it before the rampage consumes the campus. This one wasn't all that bad and was pretty enjoyable for what it is. One of the more enjoyable facets here is the fact that there's a really great chilling atmosphere featured here due to the great build-up throughout here. Since it tends to focus on setting up scares with the creature tormenting people, this tends to make for an overall incredibly suspenseful tale at times from scenes like it's resurrection at the school or stalking the security guard in the bathroom stalls which come off incredibly well here. The school campus is used to good effect here as well, with the long empty hallways and darkened rooms where it tends to focus on the majority of the time is milked pretty well, and that gives the scenes here in the basement where they initially find the contents of the box or the first attack in the storage section where the creature starts to attack only for the interruptions to break up the event are both rather fun scenes. Other fun attacks, which feature the creature appearing in the apartment to torment his girlfriend who ends up being attacked and claws their eyes out which is a great effect as it's not focused on the bloodshed on display rather than going for the offensive and striking vicious deaths, the encounter at the professor friends' house where it simultaneously appears to them as well as to her daughter in a series of haunting hallucinations tormenting her which goes along to their battle at the same time and the remnants of their encounter in the house where it comes for them in earnest and forces the group into action to battle to stop it. The finale, where they finally have their final battle at the mansion is another frantic encounter where they battle the creature stalking them which is rather fun as the creature tends to appear at odd beats which cause the fine jumps. Along with a fine-looking beast that is nicely tied into the actual historical legends and decent enough gore, there's enough to like at the end. That said, there's still some work to be done with the lame CGI instead of the prosthetic makeup that appears from time-to-time since this is changed rapidly and not really with due cause as the creature looked really good without it, leaving the creature rather unsatisfactory overall. Another big issue here comes from the rather confused nature of the way the creature attacks the others by simply trying to to torment others rather than out-and-out going for the kill, itself a blessing and a curse due to the fact that it's got some pretty good jumps because of the set-ups but the body count is way too low for these types of films and there's not too much gore to go around because of that. The only other issue here is the rather stumbling pacing involved here as this one features some down segments, mainly featuring way too many scenes of everyone standing around debating the existence of the creature or their next course of action. The action here is stuffed into a few select spaces of the film rather than doing anything which does make this one feel somewhat dragged out and slow-going instead of going full-throttle to the end. While there are some elements that are really good, overall it could've had some minor changes to help it out. Rated R: Graphic Violence and Adult Language.

A professor (Lauren Holly) and her two student-assistants (Todd Haberkorn & Leanne Cochran) uncover an Irish box from the 12th century, which unleashes a banshee, a wicked spirit that haunts & slays those who hear its piercing screech. Lance Henriksen plays a nutjob former professor who might know the secret to stopping the legendary creature. Whilst "Scream of the Banshee" (2011) is limited by its budget, it's pretty haunting and chilling TV horror. The banshee is effective in its hideous manifestations. Moreover, the movie does make you care for a couple of the protagonists and it's heartbreaking when one buys the farm. Holly was exquisite back when she was in her prime and still looks pretty good here but, for some odd reason, she chose to wear the same unflattering brown pants throughout practically the entire movie. THE MOVIE RUNS 90 minutes and was shot in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. GRADE: B-

I bought this DVD as Lucy hale was meant to be acting in it and i never seen her at all? was it blink and u missed her? Apart form that the acting was rubbish,and the banshee was not a banshee and more like a monster, and what was with the red cape? i thought the myth was that when u heard a banshee cry someone was going to die, and if you seen her she threw her comb at you and kill you. i was very disappointed in this movie and so not worth the £10 i paid,and am still gutted that Lucy was not in it!! and the banshee was a beast and not a woman with long flowing hair with a gold comb, so if your a banshee fan you will be disappointed in this..

A cheap supernatural flick made on the budget of a TV film and with a one time Hollywood actress (Lauren Holly, of DUMB AND DUMBER "fame") as the lead. SCREAM OF THE BANSHEE fails from the outset, with a ridiculously cheesy medieval flashback and a really poor supernatural creature, which looks like it was knocked up in somebody's garage. Lance Henriksen is prominently billed but only appears for five minutes at the climax, so don't get excited. The film tries hard to make sense and in terms of plot and structure it's a bit like a '90s B-flick, but the execution is so cheap and shabby that it simply doesn't work.

Just in case you also occasionally wondered whatever happened to that gorgeously cute Lauren Holly after she starred in "Dumb and Dumber" (I know I have), here's your answer! She's still a very ravishing lady, albeit nowadays old enough to portray the mother of rebellious and irritating adolescents, and she picks out the most horribly incompetent film scenarios to star in. This made for TV (ugh!) flick, produced by the morons of Syfy channel (ouch!) is dull and derivative straight from the beginning, and just to make things even worse, it gradually get more nonsensical, inane and dreadful when approaching the finale. Holly stars as an archaeologist teacher who stays behind in school during summer, along with a couple of students including her own insufferable teenage daughter, to clean up the basement. In a sealed off room, they stumble upon a mysterious box that naturally must be opened. It contains an – admittedly rather cool looking – decapitated head of a medieval old hag that somehow remained intact. But then the head awakes and her scream causes your ears to bleed and your mind to implode! From then onwards, professor Whelan and her students are non-stop terrorized by nerve-wrecking screams and bloody hallucinations in which they witness their friends and themselves die a horrible death. The curious artifact once belonged to the obsessive (and fired) previous archeology professor Broderick Duncan, so Whelan and her crew sets out to find him. There's absolutely nothing of interest about "Scream of the Banshee" The titular creature is a truly fascinating mythological being (originating from the Irish folklore), but unfortunately there are hardly any good movies tackling this topic. The 70's flick "Cry of the Banshee", starring genre veteran Vincent Price, is the best so far, but certainly not a masterpiece. This particular one is ultimately forgettable. There are a lot of bloody and gooey killings, but the make-up effects are too obviously fake and artificial, and the plot is completely devoid of tension and/or atmosphere. How embarrassing for the nonetheless very talented Lauren Holly. Lance Henriksen also pops up in the film, but at least we are used to see him in inferior and downright retarded movies and he also openly admits that he accepts certain film roles solely to pay for his speeding tickets and the alimony

Judging from the lack of information available about "Scream of the Banshee" (like budget and such) I expected a B-C class film (regardless to the IMDb rating and complaints by the spoiled snobs who like to whine online). I got exactly what I expected, but nothing less. First of all, being a Horror fan, I always like seeing such combinations of sub-genres, in this case the supernatural Ghost Story and Monsters sub genres. Second, as a fan of D&D and fantasy RPGs, I was very happy to find a film about a Banshee! The screenplay is pretty good, with a worthy enough story - but the script is sometimes amateur to the point of being painful to listen to. The acting is mostly good, except for Lauren Holly who simply lacks the charisma necessary for her character. The effects were mostly good considering the estimated budget (though the Banshee's face was very clearly a mask, and the giant hand coming out of the screen was almost a cartoon). All in all, if you start watching this and expect a masterpiece, you'll be disappointed, and it will be your own fault. However, if you choose not to be too uppity and try this film expecting a low budget Monster flick - you'll have a pretty good time and enjoy a few well made scares, just as I did.

Much ballyhoo from the Syfy Channel as they present possibly one of their better movies. An interesting story line with evenly paced deaths and gore without going overboard. In some places its a slow-go, but the intrigue sustains the picky viewer. Professor Isla Whelan(Lauren Holly)is doing inventory with the aid of a few students. A mysterious box is found and it sounds like it is breathing. When the box opens a decapitated head of a banshee opens its eyes a bellows a brain bruising scream. Tension builds as the origin of the head needs to be discovered; and all the while all involved have wild and hellish hallucinations of the banshee trying to scare victims to death. Pretty creepy and some above average F/X. Just how in the hell do you stop this bone-splitting scream? Also starring are: Todd Haberkorn, Leanne Cochran, Marcella Baer, Eric. F. Adams, Lance Henricksen and Misty Ormiston as the Old Hag/Banshee.

Can't say something bad. From beginning till the end it's interesting, but not very entertaining. What makes you wanna see the movie is definitely trailer & in the end it's worth it: not too much blood, some horror, some violence & interesting story. What makes it interesting? - Сourage. I mean courage of conclusions withing the story. Idea: 8 of 10. Trailer: 9 of 10. After watching trailer - you surely wanna see the movie. Esle: 3 of 10. I didn't liked technical side of movie, but I did liked actors performance & musical themes of movie. After watching the movie - you surely wanna see only trailer. Don't judge me, it's my first review.

In 1188 A.D., in Limerick City, Ireland, Templar Knights chase a creature through the woods and trap her head in a box. In the present days Professor Isla Whelan (Lauren Holly) and her two assistants are researching and labeling historical artifacts in the basement of the university where she works and they find an Irish glove and map with the name Duncan. Isla's estranged daughter Shayla Whelan (Marcelle Baer) finds a hidden space behind a wall with a box with the severed head, but they believe that it belongs to deformed person or an animal. Out of the blue, the head screams and they all bleed through the ears. They learn soon that the head is from a Banshee and in accordance with the mythology they are doomed to die. Their only hope is to find the lunatic and discredited Professor Broderick Duncan (Lance Henriksen), whose expertise is in the feminine spirit in Irish mythology. "Scream of the Banshee" is an awful and boring, but never scary, SyFy horror movie. The messy screenplay is lame, with poor characters development and explanation of the Banshee mythology. My vote is three. Title (Brazil): "Gritos do Além" ("Screams from Beyond")
