Entity

A low-cost metaphysical horror movie. At minimal cost, the whole movie was shot in the woods and in some abandoned facilities. But the whole atmosphere, the style it created, but also the few effects, made it stand out immediately and be one of the really best low-cost films! If there was a budget it would become a pretty good film overall, it might even be close to good films, and although it's about spirits that were tortured and found violent death and therefore trapped in the facility, but also the psychic who can see and hear them, this film basically has its own story to tell. The budget constraint did not let it shine unfortunately and remained overall in mediocrity, but it certainly stands out from the other low-cost films. Overall, worth a watch, only for once, if you like the genre, but if you like watching a lot of low-cost movies, it is definitely one of the best and recommended.

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.

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.

I've seem this movie at least 5 times now. I'm not sure what draws me to it. It's part found footage, part traditional film, part political statement, part supernatural thriller. There are reenactments of scenes that are claimed to be real (the scene where the patient in floating over his bed). While all together not that original it's also very intriguing. Definitely something I would recommend

In 1998, thirty four unidentified bodies were found in shallow graves in a remote Siberian forest. After subsequent investigations, no official explanation by the Russian authorities was ever offered about the circumstances of the deaths.

The movie is presented as a "faux documentary", but it is not strictly found footage and never pretends to be. In fact, it becomes less so as it continues, much to the audience's relief (as most horror fans by now seem to be sick of the whole thing).

There is some nice coloration, good suspense, and a genuinely eerie nature to this story. And more horror films really ought to be set in Siberia (even if this was actually filmed in North Yorkshire). Reviews are mixed, as they should be. As much as the film may be "predictable" or "late to the POV party", it does have something about it (production value?) that helps it stand out, maybe just a little.
