Review of Scream of the Banshee

Archeology Professor Isla Whelan (Holly) has discovered an ancient artifact that turns out to be the head of a Banshee that was loped off centuries earlier in the films beginning. Suddenly the head comes to life and lets out a scream that only a banshee can. Everyone bleeds from the ears and it is quite certain that the monster has been reborn. This is bad news for our Professor, her daughter (Marcelle Baer) and her students as they discover that if you heard the banshee scream it is like a death sentence. This silly SyFy movie gets tedious in a hurry and writer Anthony C. Ferrante's story starts out interesting but quickly plummets with actors over acting or underacting and a general unbalance through the short (but feels like long) running time. The banshee's appearance is decent and might generate some chills for younger viewers but this film fails to scare or entertain shortly after it begins.
