Cry of the Banshee

Film Skool

|In 1500s England, a cruel witch-hunting magistrate, who often tortures innocent villagers for his entertainment, runs afoul of a witch who conjures a banshee to kill the magistrate and his family.

|One of Gordon Hessler and Chris Wicking's acclaimed run of films for AIP UK, Cry of the Banshee has been painstakingly restored by Hammer in 4K from the original film negatives. It is presented here as both Hessler's original director's cut and AIP's re-edited theatrical version.
