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.

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

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

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.

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
