YMMV / Banshee Chapter

Go To

  • Ass Pull: The ending decides that all that stuff with the drugs and number stations doesn’t actually matter and the monsters can get you just fine without them. Pretty much just tosses the entire plot out for the sake of a Downer Ending.
    • It depends on how one looks at it. The monsters are implied to have connection with the government - after all, who built these numbers stations, laboratories and other stuff? By the end of the movie Anne has done too many things (like sending the tape to her coworkers, telling Olivia about her plan, going to the police station with wild claims) that could attract unwanted attention. Probably the monster simply was led to her by someone else.
    • The final montage emphasizes that every character hunted by the monsters has also touched someone else already affected - James to Renny, Callie to Anne, and Anne to Olivia. The implication seems to be that being a "receiver" is contagious by touch.
  • Paranoia Fuel: Government conspiracies? Secret drug tests? Monsters you can only see if you're tripping balls? Numbers Stations? What else do you need?
