Scream of the Banshee - My Favorite Horror Movie



It was fun little movie that probably should have had more of a budget. But I've seen a low budget movie made and I saw the finished product, that was another movie and the low budget showed on that one. But this movie was made in 2wks and frankly, it wasn't as bad as I thought it was. Cult classic status is awarded to something that for whatever reason, people like. Regardless of production quality, F/X, whatever. The acting was earnest, a bit cringe worthy a few times. But instead of frightening nightmare inducing images, I had more of a laugh track in my head. But then again, sometimes that's why you watch horror movies, to laugh!

I will probably watch this silly thing over and over, I caught one inside joke, I wonder if having a laptop with Greek lettering was another one?

It aired on SyFy channel on March 26th, it's slated for a theatrical release. Would I watch it on the big screen? Hell yeah! So I can howl in laughter with a theater full of random strangers, what more could I ask for?

Enjoy the clip, by the way, she's calling for her research assistant Otto, not her dog. But I know a guy who's got this big friendly German shepherd, his name was Otto, that's why I think this scene was funny because in my head, "she's calling for the dog!".
