    **_Ugly old Irish hag horror with Lauren Holly and Lance Henriksen_** A professor (Lauren Holly) and her two student-assistants (Todd Haberkorn & Leanne Cochran) uncover an Irish box from the 12th century, which unleashes a banshee, a wicked spirit that haunts & slays those who hear its piercing screech. Lance Henriksen plays a nutjob former professor who might know the secret to stopping the legendary creature. Whilst “Scream of the Banshee” (2011) is limited by its budget, it’s pretty haunting and chilling TV horror. The banshee is effective in its hideous manifestations. Moreover, the movie does make you care for a couple of the protagonists and it’s heartbreaking when one buys the farm. Holly was exquisite back when she was in her prime and still looks pretty good here but, for some odd reason, she chose to wear the same unflattering brown pants throughout practically the entire movie. THE MOVIE RUNS 90 minutes and was shot in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. GRADE: B-

Cheat

On the surface it's believed to be another urban legend - a supernatural being from the afterlife is violently killing anyone who cheats on their significant other in the small college town of Silvercreek, Pennsylvania. But the town's unusually high suicide rate is finally convincing both locals and college students that everything is not as it seems. When Maeve - a female college student - sleeps with Charlie, the married man of the host family she is staying with, both sense the deadly curse is closing in on them. Unable to get anyone to believe them, Maeve and Charlie seek out a local history student to help find answers and figure out a way to defend themselves. It all comes undone, however, as several people are horrifically killed by the savage being - one-by-one at a rapid pace. Eventually, Maeve, Charlie and the few survivors band together in an attempt to defeat the monster once and for all.
