This movie isn't a great one but it's not the worst I've seen. Without Vincent Price there's probably no way I'd enjoy this at all. Oh, and there's a lot of tits! Maybe that's what it took to sell this movie. Anyway, Witchcraft is rampent and it's up to Lord Edward Whitman to get rid of them, but a beast lurks about...a Banshee. Could it be the cry of this beast that scares Lord Edward or somethin... read more

Witchcraft, curse and small breasts go hand in hand in this film dominated by the presence of "Witchfinder" Vincent Price. But on the same theme, we are far from the cult "Mark of the Devil"...

View all Cry of the Banshee (1970) reviews

In Elizabethan England, a wicked lord massacres nearly all the members of a coven of witches, earning the enmity of their leader, Oona. Oona calls up a magical servant, a "banshee", to destroy the lord's family. (The "banshee" of this tale bears no resemblance to the normal usage of the term!)

"In 17th century England, Lord Whitman wages unending war on what he sees as the ever-present scourge of witchcraft, and many local villagers have suffered at his hands. But one victim uses her occult powers to curse his family, enlisting unknowing help from one of the household. A bit of a misleading title for this movie as there is no banshee at all in the story. It should have been changed to the more appropriate Cry Of The Howling Wolf. I think the film-makers probably just decided it was j"
