The Entity

I enjoyed "The Entity" more than quite overrated "Poltergeist",which-I think-is too commercial and not enough scary.This film tells us the story about young woman(Barbara Hershey)who is sexually assaulted and raped by supernatural entity.The acting isn't bad-some of the performances(especially Hershey as a terrified woman)are rather convincing-and there's enough scares to make most of the horror fans happy.The rape scenes aren't graphic,but you feel uneasy while you are watching Hershey's suffering.Overall I'd recommend this film to everyone interested in the genre.

I saw this movie in the theaters when I was 6. It scared the crap out of me then... Now I am 30 and it still scares the crap out of me. Wow! What an amazing horror/thriller. This movie is what a suspenseful horror film should be. The directing and cinematography are incredible. The story unfolds as it sucks you in and doesn't let go for a second. It's a shame these types of films are rarely made anymore. The atmosphere is nauseatingly creepy, the acting on every front is exceptional and the soundtrack is fresh and original. The fact that it is based on true events only adds to the scares. Why can't Hollywood make movies like this anymore? 25 years after its release it still holds up! If you want to have some serious nightmares watch it alone, at night with the lights off. I dare you...
