On the trail of a missing friend who had been experimenting with mind-altering drugs, a young journalist - aided by a rogue counter-culture writer -- finds herself drawn into the dangerous world of top-secret government chemical research and the mystery of a disturbing radio signal of unknown origin. A fast-paced thriller blending fact and fiction, Banshee Chapter is based on real documents, actual test subject testimony, and uncovered secrets about covert programs run by the CIA. (XLrator Media)

Banshee Chapter really stays afloat, and so you can manage the less than an hour and a half quite calmly and enjoy it without having to suffer in any way. Yes, it's found footage and the special effects is very weak, you won't see anything here, but the form of the story fits, and if the reveal wasn't so awkward, it would climb to a higher rating. I'm glad someone still has ideas on how to make found footage a little more lively. It's not great, but the possibilities are there and maybe someone will actually use them.

The solid approach to an interesting mythology and the surprising atmospheric strength of several scenes overcome the stupidity of the story, which at times is crushing. It’s not “found-footage” for most of it, but you still see fuck-all. Next time, I hope you get a better script, Mr Erickson. 5/10
