Fangoria Presents Entity

The Entity
Very surprised by this one! It is yet another "found footage" film, and lord knows, I thought they had beat that horse to death, but I was wrong. Anyway, some investigative reporters are on their way to Siberia to investigate the goings-on at a previously used psychiatric hospital. On the way, their lead psychic encounters many visions of people that suffered horrible deaths. Why they suffered those deaths is never explained, but I digress.

I found the mood of this movie to be better than most of its genre, and the acting was very good. The haunting score also made for a very effective mood for this movie.

I enjoyed "The Entity," and think you will too. Do not expect to see an over-the-top gorefest, because that is not what this movie is about. Enjoy.

MEN WHO STARE AT PSYCHICS
This in "Entity" with the a backwards "N" so not to be confused by other films with the same name. In this film there are no women sexually abused by a ghost. Don't blame me, I didn't write it.

This film takes place in remote Sadovich, Siberia, Russia. We get a glimpse of some 1983 footage of a gaunt nude man in a cell with odd things going on, including levitation. We quickly come to the present where a camera crew is going to the same area. They were contacted by Yuri (Branko Tomovic) who claims 34 people were found in a shallow grave in a remote glade. With the help of Ruth (Dervla Kirwan) a psychic, he hopes to find out what happened as the authorities will not say. A camera crew comes along. Kate (Charlotte Riley) is the reporter/director who reminded me of Sandra Bullock. Charlotte Riley is a rising star. Matt (Rupert Hill) is the camera man and David (Oliver Jackson) is the token guy who needs to grow a set. Someone has to be the first to die.

Ruth is the...

Not bad...Not great...but Not bad.
With only one other review, I really wasn't sure if this was something I wanted to spend my money to watch. I depend on reviews from others when deciding on my instant viewing purchases. But, I have to say this wasn't a bad movie at all. It wasn't exactly the greatest horror film I've ever seen; but the plot was good, the acting was decent, and it did give off a pretty creepy vibe. I will say that it is not incredibly fast placed, it does take a bit to get to where it was going, but in the end it did draw me in. I would say it's a decent ghost story and if you have an afternoon or evening to kill it wouldn't be a waste of time or money.
