Description

Carla Moran awakens one night to find herself being assaulted by an unseen presence. Terrified of what's happening to her, and shunned by friends and family who think she's lost her mind, she seeks help from parapsychologists. The researchers soon discover that evil spiritual force has been drawn to Carla and is responsible for the violent attacks. The question now, however, is how do they stop it? Based on a true story.

Back Off, Casper!..........2007-07-02

Like THE AMITYVILLE HORROR, THE ENTITY is based on a "true" story. However, unlike AMITYVILLE, this movie is both smart and engaging. Carla Moran (Barbara Hershey from Boxcar Bertha and Falling Down) is haunted, terrorized, and sexually assaulted by three ghosts. Her psychiatrist (played by Ron Silver of Silent Rage fame) tries to convince Carla that it's all in her head. The invisible attackers continue their nightly visits, causing Carla to seek help from a group of parapsychologists (ala Poltergeist). This leads to a final showdown in the local college gymnasium, where Carla confronts her fear once and for all. Hershey is quite believable in her role, as is the skeptical Silver. Frank De Felitta wrote the screenplay, based on his book of the same name. De Felitta also wrote both the book and screenplay for AUDREY ROSE, another good spooker! Enjoy...

Is This A Comedy?.......2007-04-01

Yeah, it may be based on a true story. So what? That don't make it a good movie, and man oh man, it ain't good at all. Oooohhh....blue lightning striking. That's real scary stuff. Now I know Barbara Hershey can act, and she did what she could with this script, which would have been better used as a doormat. The doctors, and especially Silver, were so over the top clueless and cliche it was insulting. Tell me about your father....yeah, right. Kids were annoying, whiny things and that son was such a rube, albeit a loyal one. The theme and subject matter are strong and heavy stuff, and this could have worked. Failed miserably for me though. Worst ending for a horror flick not just of the era, but for all time. The mingling of science and horror rarely works, except the Lovecraft flicks and a few others. The students that came to her house were such dopey flops I couldn't stand it. That old guy she was sleeping with could've been her grandfather. What a joke, man. The attack and rape scenes were pretty physical, brutal and believable, though. Gotta admit that. The blue lightning ruined any authenticity, and the freezing of the creature in the end was just lame. Her friends were kind of stooges, too. The 2 stars are for the scenes when she was getting attacked and the one where she was violated while she slept. By the way, who sleeps through sex? This was a bad movie based on the story of some west coast crackpot who needed attention. Get The Exorcist or Poltergeist and forget this one. Felt I had to warn potential buyers, as all the reviews on this are positive for some inexplicable reason. Be honest and be discriminating. Worth the price if the price is just a few bucks. Would have enjoyed a scene where The Entity went after Ron Silver.

I didn't order these for me!.......2007-03-12

TRUE LIFE HORROR !!!!.......2007-02-16

This story is based on a real life happening over several years. The DVD extra The Entity Files goes into the true story in great detail and, is fasinating in its own right. Barbara Hershey is superb in the role of the tortured woman and, not bad to look at either. Be warned there is graphic nudity although I believe some of it to be a rubber molded body. None the less its a thoroughly enjoyable story and not a cheesy slasher horror film! Ron silver is his usual boring self.Thank goodness hes not in it that much!
