Steinesongo Too many fans seem to be blown away

Protraph Lack of good storyline.

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Paul Magne Haakonsen 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.

Coco Love 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

minch007 although made in '82, this movie is an adaption of a '78 novel by horror novelist and Hollywood screenwriter Frank De Felitta, in turn based on an allegedly true story centering on events occurring in the mid '70's involving a woman called Doris Bither. Barbara Hershey does well as the victim Carla, and the acting overall is fine. Apparently Martin Scorsese found the movie very scary, but I found the shenanigans of the psychiatrist and the parapsychologists strange and amusing enough to detract from the frights. I can accept that back in the '70s, psychiatrists were more Freudian, domineering and intrusive in the lives of their patients than now, but the scene where the good Dr is shouting in the face of a traumatised rape victim about facing the abuse in her childhood made me cringe. But its the antics of the team of parapsychologists towards the end that really stretches credibility.Without giving away too much, the idea behind their experiment was interesting, but was handled poorly. Even in the '70's, ethical approval must be obtained from universities before experiments can be conducted, especially when exposing vulnerable people to very dangerous situations. Not to mention applications for funding this very elaborate experiment. All this takes months, and anyway an experiment of this nature would simply never be allowed. Presumably this experiment was in the novel, but there's no way it's part of the "true" story of Doris. It would've been more effective and credible if they had scaled the experiment down and conducted it in Carla's home...if you watch the movie you'll see what I mean! Overall the movie would also have worked better by expanding more on the poltergeist phenomena by going further into Carla's history and the history of her house(which according to the "true" story had a reputation of being haunted). Without the over-the-top finale, and with a less irritating soundtrack, I would've rated the movie an 8.

Michael Painter I remember watching this as a pre pubescent kid on a pirate video and alternating having a pillow on my lap or in-front of my face... now having watched it again 25+ years later I'm disappointed with the films break off half way through where all the tension either sexual or otherwise completely evaporates, this film needs to have a remake and not one of those watered down versions either.The premises of the film is a demonic lothario bangs his intended victim when she is in her bedroom, thankfully these scenes are short and intense, viagra obviously wasn't around in those days and it doesn't take long for the ghouls ghoulies to be satisfied otherwise the film would have been 5 hours long. As I said earlier, the film half way through takes another course which completely loses the impact and tension of the film, in fact the wallpaper in the victims house is more horrific than the later stages of the film and I was left with the feeling, about the transparent hands on the breasts, although to a pre pubescent they're cool, is that what they look like when a breast implant erupts. NEEDS A REMAKE.
