Damned by Dawn is a 2009 Australian independent horror film written and directed by Brett Anstey, starring Renee Willner, Bridget Neval, Dawn Klingberg, Danny Alder, Peter Stratford, Taryn Eva and Mark Taylor.

Claire (Renee Willner) goes to see her family living in a squalid farm after 18 months with her boyfriend Paul (Danny Alder).

Living on the farm are her father Bill (Peter Stratford), her younger sister Jen (Taryn Eva) and her old grandmother Nana (Dawn Klingberg) who is about to die after a long illness.

At first, Claire thinks that her grandmother is raving, but afterwards she starts hearing piercing screams and a female figure enters in their house, walking towards Nana's room.

Claire learns that the Banshee actually exists, and has to fight against this female ghost and her spirits wanting to damn the entire family.
