In this film I liked the well constructed disembodied banshee head in the metal box....and that's about it. A banshee is beheaded in ancient Ireland by some Knight Templars (?) and the poll is put in a box which ends up in a university basement in America and uncovered by an archaeologist Isla Whelan and her annoying assistants Otto and Janie. Once the box is open the banshee goes around killing people for some reason. Unfortunately lots of things continually happen that don't make much sense. Apart from a brief appearance as a raddled professor by the great Lance Henriksen the rest of the cast are bland and the characters they play are eye-wateringly boring. There are lots of screams though, from the human characters as well as the banshee.
Banshees are from Irish folklore but they are shamefully misrepresented in this movie. They wail but they don't slay.
