Trivia
Like My World Dies Screaming (1958), from the same producer, the film contained messages flashed up for a split second to add an extra subliminal shudder. The process was generally disregarded but has been used on a limited basis in The Exorcist (1973) and Fight Club (1999).

The Banshee series DNA

I was very pleased to discover this small American film, which topic is very close to BANSHEE series, showing a man on the run who accidently takes a dead police officer's identity and then becomes in charge to do the dead cop's job, cleaning a small town from its mob. Gerald Mohr is impressive and convincing in this role, among the best he did. And you also have a terrific jazzy score nearly all long the film.
