Oculus Rift fans can download ‘Banshee Chapter’ free today from Jamwix. Released in 2013, the 3D horror film based on H.P. Lovecraft’s From Beyond has been repurposed as a virtual reality feature.
Here’s the 2013 trailer:
Shot in the POV-style of the found footage horror genre, a female journalist searches for a missing friend who had been experimenting with mind-altering chemicals developed in secret government drug tests. Things go south from there. It stars Katia Winter, Ted Levine, and Michael McMillan.
We’ll see a few more proof of concept type films like these before the game-changing feature, but in the meantime you can get scared for free today, like early Christmas and Halloween combined.
