Entity

Had all the right, if a bit stereotypical, pieces for a fun modern horror movie; Russia, government experimentation, video footage glitching out, psychics and psychic testing.

all of it came together somewhat ably in the film, detailing a pack of ghost hunters following a lead from a Russian author regarding a place where 34 unidentified corpses were discovered and never identified in the 1980s. Despite that setup, it quickly leads into a gargantuan industrial facility where we quickly learn the 34 unidentified corpses were part of a larger group being held there.

all of it is executed somewhat ably, there's a very mild little twist which doesn't particularly add or take away from the overall story, and it has a handful of decent jumpscares and unusual odd moments.

unfortunately, the film just doesn't manage to rise beyond "performed ably". There was no significant problem with the acting or the story, but there was also very little done with it. Everything was very straight-forward, and the mystery of the place was very quickly explained, leaving nothing for us to savor or wonder about, and no reason to care about much in the film.

this is the kind of quickly forgettable film that you only happen to remember when coming across it again in the horror movie catalogue

I am not usually a fan of modern horror films. Too much gore and not enough story. However, 'Entity' is a little more thoughtful than your average 'found footage' thriller. Nicely paced and shot, the film draws you in with good plot and good acting. I was particularly impressed with Branco Tomovic, who is very believable in his role as 'Yuri Levkov'. And from what I understand, 'Entity' was made on a very small budget, which is surprising considering the very professional look & feel of the film.

This is Director Steve Stone's first feature film & I think he is definitely one to watch for the future.

I love scary movies and this was very scary! lots of jumps and the people in the film actually did sensible things which was a nice change. Acting is great - the main documentary girl looked really sincerely freaked out when all the bad things happened. I have no idea why this is rated so low, maybe people have been brainwashed into thinking a simple storyline in a freaky empty building in the middle of the Siberian forest is not complicated enough for a horror film?

So if you like scary films that have normal people in them just getting into horrific situations through no real fault of their own, I recommend this film. Scary good.

Interesting, isn't it, how some films divide opinion? I really liked this film. There's a decent back-story - in fact two decent back-stories, to be accurate. Good cast, with one or two established actors and a couple of decent new finds. There are a number of gripes about found footage - well, it's not a found footage film, it's actually a beautifully shot horror film, with a few bits of found footage, which imho fit very well to up the tension. I think one of the main 'difficulties', though not for me, is that that the director/writer Steve Stone hasn't fallen for the post-Saw generation of boy-pleasing gore films. This isn't a gore film. It's a horror film, and a really good one, at that. So if you are prepared to sit back, (if you can do that while spending much of the film on the edge of your seat), and watch a really fine film but with a low tits and gore count, then I recommend this film wholeheartedly.

Above Average horror movie with a creepy setting and a clever idea behind it!
