Movie Review: Barbara Hershey can do no wrong...
Summary: 3 Stars
Single California mom Barbara Hershey, living in a comfy ramshackle house with her brood, is sexually assaulted one night by a poltergeist. After repeated similar attacks (one while she's driving!), Hershey seeks help from para-psychologists. Having Tobe Hooper's more mainstream and slick "Poltergeist" come out on this movie's heels certainly wasn't good for its legacy, and promoting the film as a true story didn't wash with skeptics, but having an actress of Hershey's caliber at the film's center was a superlative move; her presence alone makes the film absorbing and provocative. Appearing like a grown-up flower child, with a likably tossled hairdo and lifestyle, Hershey slips right into these outlandish goings-on with nonchalant ease. The effects are quite good (relying upon tight editing and fine cinematography), and the climactic events don't cop out. This thriller goes in all the directions you're hoping it will, and it is never less than satisfying. 'B'Movie Review: Enjoyable older horror/terror flick
Summary: 3 Stars
I was scanning over the list of movies available at Amazon.com and noticed this one. I saw it many years ago when it came out in the theaters. Supposedly based on actual happenings of a woman being sexually assaulted, or raped by a demonic presence in her life. It is a good movie, most likely enjoyed more by fans of the 70's - 80's terror movies. It is a good buy price-wise to anyone wanting to add to their movie collection.Movie Review: Th Entity
Summary: 3 Stars
It's a somewhat scary movie of an entity raping a woman unseen. it had a social value to be aware that we don't know what exists and what doesn't.Movie Review: Ridiculous Supernatural Chiller
Summary: 2 Stars
The Entity is about a ghost that rapes a woman repeatedly. Which is ironic, since after watching it I feel like my time had been raped. There are a few chills and thrills, but there's also a lot of dull stretches where nothing interesting happens. And the plot, supposedly based on a true story, is ridiculous. They should have made a sequel where the ghost turns gay and repeatedly rapes a man. They could have called it "The Entity 2: Supernatural Homosexual". It would have been more entertaining than The Entity.Movie Review: A supposedly true yet totally OVERRATED so-called horror movie!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
Barbara Hershey sure is attractive in this movie but, as a horror movie, "The Entity" just does not have what it takes despite the fact that this movie is supposedly inspired by some "true" events. Honestly, it appears that Barbara Hershey's character is just plain crazy. There are such things as schizophrenia and multiple personality disorder which this movie fails to dispose of as possibilities.
Aside from that, the fact of the matter is that this movie just is not that compelling as a horror movie. In "The Entity", some kind of an entity continuously attacks Barbara Hershey's character and rapes her on several occasions. Still, the "The Entity" just is not scary. There is not enough substance to this movie, and the movie lacks style...the atmosphere developed in "The Entity" is not strong enough to carry this movie from beginning to end. While "The Entity" is a unique portrayal of a malevolent entity terrorizing a woman for some obscure reason, not enough happens in this movie to keep a pure horror movie audience interested.
While some would say that the original "The Amityville Horror" is the same way, I would disagree with that line of thinking because the original "The Amityville Horror" establishes a very strong horror movie atmosphere which is sorely lacking in "The Entity". After watching this movie, I came away with the impression that "The Entity" was just a boring movie that I wished I had rented before purchasing.
