The cast and concept seemed interesting, but I was dubious seeing that it was low budget and that it was SyFy. As far as SyFy movies go, it is far from their worst, but it is not one of their better ones either. The cast aren't terrible, but the only ones really to come above their material are Lucy Hale and Todd Haberkorn. Marcelle Baer is not bad either, but her character is written poorly, while the casting of Lance Henriksson promised much but mainly because he is only on screen for ten or so minutes his efforts seemed wasted. The banshee was rather fake sadly, though the scream was terrifying, and the choppy editing and artificial-looking effects don't help. Neither do the hackneyed scripting, the dull, predictable and ridiculous story, the lack of any real terror or suspense or the annoying stereotypes for characters. Overall, not a complete waste of time but still pretty lame. 3/10 Bethany Cox
