Movie Reviews of The Entity
Movie Review: Still terrifies after all these years...
Summary: 5 Stars
My then-partner showed this film to me in England in 1986, and I remember being shocked. Extremely effective as a horror film, and it DOES horrify. I have the DVD now, and I recommend also watching the extra "The Entity Files", an interview with the investigator of the real story, Barry Taff. He is quite convincing. Yes it is shocking, as it is no laughing matter, a woman being brutally raped by an invisible demon. But it makes for a very effective horror film, unlike any you will see today. As it says at the end of the film, the woman it happened to in real life--Doris Bither is her name I believe-- moved to Texas, then I think she moved back to California again, and is now deceased. People who say she simply "disappeared" never to be seen again, should spend some time Googling this topic--the whole story is out there. One has to wonder what happened to this woman in the afterlife--the mind boggles... great film, a must-see.Movie Review: "Still creepy after all these years"!!!!

I saw this when I was 18, and I could not sleep for like a month or two! It still affects me now, the way it did back then! This situation is no joke...very scary! The kid that played her older son in the movie, got hurt the same way and in the same place, as her real life son did!!! Wow!! Talk about art imitating life!! (If you have bad nightmares and have a soft stomach..well, you've been warned!!it's very,very,
creepy!!. The part that really scared me was when she first got slapped in her bedroom!!
Any of you who saw the movie already know what I'm talking about!!
If you want scary,creepy,disturbing.. this is the movie to watch...warning..if you have kids, keep this one away from them, other than that...Enjoy!
(PS..does anyone know where I can get this movie without the big price tag? I'd appreciate it very much...thank you)!!
Movie Review: Back Off, Casper!...
Summary: 5 Stars
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...Movie Review: Unmissable. Unstoppable.

This film managed to do what my parents couldn't -GET ME TO STAY IN BED.
It is horrifying to think that this film was based on real life events surrounding a woman's physical sexual abuse by a ghost.
Well played by Barbara Hershey she made you feel the invisible horror of being raped and attacked by an invisible predator that can't be reasoned with or stopped.
The worst thing about it was that after a failed attempt to capture and stop the apparition the attacks intensified,it makes things even worse.
The film doesn't have a happy ending but it's one that stays with me always.
I won't spoil it for you.
It was enjoyable but in a gut wrenching way.
Movie Review: TRUE LIFE HORROR !!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
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!
