Banshee Chapter (2013)

I watched Banshee Chapter because the topic had my interest. Actually, MK ultra is a real experiment that was done between years of 1953 and 1973. The story-line of the movie was very clear and easy to follow, but there were really bad mistakes of the movie. They were unreasonable, and not even related to the stupidity of any character. These mistakes made the movie unrealistic. There were also some stuff left unexplained at the end of the movie, this also made it unrealistic. Even though, I was really captured by the movie and its jump scares. Some scenes were so tense that I knew a few jump scares before coming. Though, they still made me jump. If it was also realistic in reasonable consideration, I would find the movie much better. What I can say is that watch it if you are interested in the subject matter of the movie and if you like creepy stuff. And watch it as a creepy thriller movie. Otherwise, watching the movie would be a waste of time for you.

I really enjoyed this movie.I thought Banshee Chapter was a very original movie and it was Very creepy and strange. This is a Horror movie done the right way.what makes this film work is its mystery.it has a very fascinating mystery that makes you want to keep watching so you can find out whats going on. I personally love movies like this, ones where the viewer has to figure things out. I Thought it was a very suspenseful movie and there were also some bizarre images in the movie. I'm sure if little kids saw this movie it would Freak them out.I mean some scenes freaked me out and I'm an adult.The Movie is about a Journalist Girl Called Ann played by (Katia Winter) that goes looking for a friend of hers who went missing after hearing weird radio like sounds And Music in his house. The boy and his friend went missing one after the other.The police suspected the boys friend for the disappearance but then he goes missing too so he stops being a suspect. The lead girl Ann thinks something else is going on and she doesn't think that the boys disappearing is any normal incident she thinks it has something to do with the weird radio noises they listened to before they disappeared.she also finds out about the government doing secret research experiments and she thinks the chemical the boys ingested may have something to do with the strange radio Broadcast. The girl finds audio footage of the two boys last moments together and she listens to it and tries to figure out whats going on.footage is also shown throughout the movie of people being experimented on in a laboratory by scientists.The girl meets up with a retired writer and he helps her to figure out what's going on and its not long before the two of them start hearing the creepy radio broadcast too and the girl thinks the experiments have something to do with it.Overall This is a good Movie and I liked it but there were some things that I found odd in the movie.I thought it was Odd that The lead girl seemed very comfortable walking around at night by herself most of the movie, its only until about half way through that she meets with the writer and he helps her and they walk around together looking for evidence, which I must also add is a bit odd because the girl Doesn't even know this man and yet she is still comfortable enough to walk around with him in the middle of the night?.she even goes to his house at one point and the guy starts giving her drinks and they drink together.I personally would not go to a mans house if I barely knew him and then start having drinks with him, he could put anything in your drink. As it Turned out Nothing happened but my point is something could have happened, you can never be too careful now a days.To end the review I will say this.This is not a Great film But it is a very interesting film mainly because of its mystery.The movie is also genuinely creepy and has that fear of the unknown feel about it which just goes to show you sometimes something you cant see is scarier than what you can see.This film was chilling and Creepy because the viewer never fully understands why the strange things are happening which is what makes this film work. overall I recommend it if you want to watch a movie that makes you think.I Thought it was an entertaining film.

The title "Banshee Chapter" intrigued me, though the poster gave away the jump scares. (I saw this on Amazon, I can imagine it was better in the theatre and in 3D.) The MK-Ultra hook grabbed me, because I remember when the CIA documents were released via the Freedom of Information Act and President Clinton actually apologized to the country. However, it was when I saw the term "numbers stations" I knew I had to see this movie.Shortwave radio has been a fascination of mine since childhood. Having ham radio enthusiasts for parents means you get a few old radios to "play" with. The shortwave frequencies fascinated me endlessly because you could hear the cosmos, using radio astronomy you could hear pulsars, quasars, supernovas ... pretty cool, right? I'd listen for rhythms in the chaos, moving the dial the slightest of notches.Then I found the "numbers stations." And this is why I give this movie 9/10. That's only -1 for everything other reviewers complain about. Numbers stations are real, and they are quite spooky when you find them. The station used prominently in this movie is REAL, you can find it for yourself. I had listened to that station so often, for so many years, I'd had so many dreams and nightmares about it, that it made the movie feel very, very real to me. I'm pretty sure the film makers were counting on some audience members' familiarity with shortwave numbers stations, or with mind-altering drugs, to give it a boost.I recommend this movie to all my friends, *after* I play them a few numbers stations ... they say the movie is horrifying, truly scary. Great use of real facts, events and real news clips in an otherwise standard horror flick. Google "CONET Swedish Rhapsody" before watching and listen for a real scary treat at 2:48 in the recording, then watch Banshee Chapter.

It is quite rare nowadays to find a horror film that is genuinely scary and, although others may disagree, I was pleased to find that this was. I stumbled across it when I was home alone and couldn't find anything else to watch. I came away from the film feeling intensely creeped out with that song at the end credits stuck on repeat in my head. The premise is loosely based around the covert MK Ultra human trials carried out in the late 60's early 70's by the CIA - For more information Google Project MK Ultra. Our story follows journalist Anne Rowe as she tries to find out what happened to her friend who disappeared while researching material for his book on Project MK Ultra. I won't go into more detail as I don't want to spoil it for anyone who may read this. I would definitely recommend this film to someone else as I enjoyed it immensely. In fact, I have seen it 3 times now and it still creeps me out!
