Banshee!!!

While this film deserves to be panned for its overall failure, an outstanding and memorable performance by Kerry McGann redeems this lackluster effort from total oblivion. She is simply excellent as a local police officer who goes to battle with the dreaded titular banshee. Her portrayal of a strong and competent female character is refreshing in this sort of horror outing. Despite a weak script and poor dialog, she manages to make clear what a gifted actor can do in the worst of movies. It is only because of McGann that this is not a complete waste of time. The rest of the cast seems amateurish, as does the direction. The special effects are terrible and the cinematography is abysmal. The film is only recommended as an introduction to the work of Kerry McGann and little else.
