You won't be disappointed!

Waste of time

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Now, I wasn't familiar with this 1982 movie prior to stumbling upon by sheer random luck. I read the synopsis, and being an avid horror fan I did, of course, have to give it a chance.Supposedly based on real events, which does make the movie somewhat more interesting. Of course it is just a matter of how much was actually real, when it comes down to it."The Entity" had good acting performances and a good cast ensemble. The actors and actresses really took the characters and made them their own and it helped to portray some realistic characters.The attacks on Carla were essentially just the same over and over with very little variation, which made for it to be scary the first time then it just became trivial.The movie is actually faring surprisingly well with very little special effects, especially when taking the age of the movie into consideration.All in all, an entertaining movie for what it turned out to be. But this is hardly the type of movie that you will return to watch a second time.

I knew this was kind of scary movie, and from the title it suggested something to do with the paranormal, and being one I had heard of a few times I was definitely up for giving it a go, directed by Sidney J. Furie (The Ipcress File, Superman IV: The Quest for Peace). Basically Carla Moran (Barbara Hershey) is an ordinary single mother, one night she is violently attacked and raped, but the assailant is invisible. Carla talks about her experience to her family and friends, but she is shunned and they think she has gone, so she speaks to a psychiatrist, Dr. Phil Sneiderman (Ron Silver), she tentatively agrees to undergo therapy. Another attack occurs, Carla is left with bite marks and bruises, but with past traumas in her childhood and adolescence, including sexual and physical abuse, teenage pregnancy and the violent death of her first husband, the doctors believes she has inflicted them on herself. However, Carla's children witness an attack for themselves, Dr. Sneiderman urges her to commit herself to a psychiatric hospital for observation, but she refuses, instead turning to parapsychologists, they witness several paranormal activities and agree to study the home. Carla is reassured that she is being taken seriously, and after more attacks and studying, she agrees to to participate in an elaborate parapsychologist experiment, a full mock-up of her home is created to lure the entity into a trap, they will attempt to freeze the spirit in liquid helium. The experiment goes ahead, Carla does indeed have the unseen being attempting to attack her, it is frozen and trapped in a mass of ice, Dr. Sneiderman finally believes her, it eventually breaks free and vanishes. Carla returns home, and the end text says that the entity remains present, but the attacks have become less frequent and less severe than previously. Also starring David Labiosa as Billy, George Coe as Dr. Weber, Margaret Blye as Cindy Nash, Jacqueline Brookes as Dr. Cooley, Richard Brestoff as Gene Kraft and Michael Alldredge as George Nash. Hershey gives a very good performance as the innocent woman suffering at the hands of invisible demonic force, other characters question if she is crazy for a while, of course they realise the terror is real, there is only a little special effects stuff, but the tension of this complex chiller is ramped up at the right moments, overall it is an atmospheric enough "fact-based" psychological and supernatural horror thriller. Worth watching!

This movie is awful I'm sorry if I'm a bit nasty as in sexual laughing out loud but that ghost was sexing her real good I was getting horny for a minute but I hate the movie so much the reason why I'm giving it two stars is because it did get me horny but I wouldn't recommend this to nobody to watch action was alright but it was boring and it seemed faked I mean I wish they would had gave this movie to a person with more upgrading Equipment other then this movie I'm trying to stop writing this site wants me to write a freaking long assessment shoot getting on my nerves I hate the movie that should be it I'm on my phone writing this man

This is without a doubt the scariest movie I have ever seen in my life, and I have seen many. The fact that it is based on a true story makes it even more frightening. Barbara Hershey excels in portraying Carla Moran, the victim who has been chosen by an unknown entity, almost at the cost of her sanity and her life. The lives of her children are also at stake but she quickly discovers there is no refuge from this horror. She can run but she cannot hide. It will find her. And hurt her. She seeks help, and finds it, but it is a short-lived reprieve from the demonic entity that is out to get her. She has no choice but to succumb to the whims of the evil she cannot see but only feel. If I decided to watch this movie again, I would definitely pray first!
