A woman is tormented and sexually molested by an invisible demon.

The supernatural "horror" in Poltergeist is childish nonsense compared to the genuinely devastating and often disturbing footage featuring in this film by Sidney J. Furie. Just 10 minutes into this movie and I'm already seeing myself having troubles sleeping that night. Was this review helpful?

"The Entity" is a well made horror film about a supernatural phenomenon tormenting a woman by sexually attacking her repeatedly.

A lot of the film is told from his point of view, trying to get us to believe he is a helpful force, and all we can do is despise him as if he were a weasel taking advantage. 25 October 2000 | jhaggardjr

Released against the wishes of the authorities, this D.V.D. Hold and move the mouse cursor in the Game View 4. I never heard about the case before (and I'm too lazy to do further research) but if this story, like it claims, is indeed based on factual events, then it really is one of the greatest supernatural mysteries in the history of mankind! Barbara Hershey, lovely and freshly-scrubbed like an elfin flower-child, takes on the difficult leading role with casual detachment; her delicacy is welcomed actually, as a role (and a movie) such as this can really go overboard without much effort.

And one should also check out the accompanying documentary "The Entity Files" that is featured as an extra on the Anchor Bay DVD as it lends a respectable insight into the "true" story that inspired this whole thing. And after 20 years to still remember most of the scenes in detail is pretty incredible. And you don't even now if believe in this entity till the end, you got two points of view and you can't even understand which is the real one (do you think is obvious that there is an entity? Then she runs into a group of parapsychologists who think have a solution to get rid of this entity. The film delivers great shocks, surprises, uncanny music and special effects and the wholesome is overall very tense. Watching this 1981 film for the first time after becoming desensitized to paranormal films after years of watching innumerable episodes of X-Files I feel that the portrayal of the paranormal activity experienced by Barbara Hershey's character Carla Moran (Real person: Doris Bither) lacks sufficient impact for today's audience. All the today paranormal movies must learn something from this one. 2. It's officially based on a novel by Frank De Felitta, who also scripted, the novel itself inspired by a notorious real life story that's one of the most bizarre in the history of paranormal research.

The Entity would rank in the top 10 as far as genuine scares are concerned. I sometimes think I might want to watch this film again, but then again, maybe not.... at least the images have faded a bit now after 20 years. Maybe for someone is granted and obvious, but we are talking about a movie made in 80's. She seeks help first from a psychiatrist (played by Ron Silver) who she feels ain't helping her.

Other visual effects are very well done without going the truly cheesy route and Charles Bernstein's creepy music, pounding away hard during the attack scenes, is perfect accompaniment. 3 out of 3 found this helpful. You know what a MILF is, right? But in the subsequent scenes and the days following, there is no mark on her lip. 13 out of 21 found this helpful. Ever since the only other movie that had me that scared was The Exorcist and I could never find another movie that scary. I saw this movie in the theaters when I was 6.

"The Entity" has a few silly moments, but all-in-all it's an effective horror film. The effects are iffy, too (particularly in one sequence involving a nude body, which doesn't quite convince). As you can see, there are two ways to define the states of each entity_id:. Then she runs into a group of parapsychologists who think have a solution to get rid of this entity. 60 out of 78 found this helpful. The Entity has an extremely sloppy script. With Erin Marie Hogan, Fia Perera, Norman Saleet, Shane Van Dyke. As was said before, it's fascinating stuff. This was despite the then recently released Bernardo Bertolucci film, Luna (1979), which examined a mother-son relationship and also being from the same 20th Century Fox studio. Those cherished films were unforgettable for a variety of reasons all very personal to the individual. And that first rape scene was horrifying. Eventually a team of parapsychologists at a university formulate a plan to bait and hopefully trap the thing.

The theme and background of this remarkable film are a bit similar to Steven Spielberg's blockbuster "Poltergeist", but that's pretty much where the comparison stops. 3 out of 3 found this helpful.

The nude scenes are either the use of a body double or a make-up puppet. The truth I suspect lies midway between these inconsistent comments. 6 out of 8 found this helpful. Frank De Felitta (novel), Noticing the review for "AN American HAUNTING", I have to confess that I was interested in seeing it from the preview trailer, but one thing made my interest go soft about as quickly as the hard-on of an adolescent leafing through a medical textbook about STD's...the PG-13 rating. But then movies like Amityville Horror, Exorcist and this movie are based on actual events and to think something of this nature happened to someone makes it even scarier. Eight out of 10. Barbara Hershey gives a very strong performance as Carla Moran, the woman who one night has her life turned upside down when she's raped by an unseen mass. The story unfolds as it sucks you in and doesn't let go for a second. 40 out of 45 found this helpful. 2 out of 2 found this helpful. Despite this weakness Barbara Hershey's performance still holds up well today. 21 out of 31 found this helpful.
