What can I say about this film that hasn't already been said?
Possesion has always been one of the most talked about subjects when the theme of horror crops up in conversation and this film is usually one that's at the forefront. This intensly dark chiller is "mentally disturbing" in the respect that it is based on a real life occurence. Forget your Amityvilles and poltergeists, this is the geniune article. Barbera Hershey plays an outstanding role of a woman who is mentally and physically abused by an unknown Demon that repeatedly rapes and tortures her. The thing that gripped me most about this movie, was the eerie atmosphere the director clearly and successfully aimed for.
All too often horror movies bore us with fake decapitations and lots of tomato ketchup- this movie however captures the essence of spine tingling nervousness - you can't see whats stalking her - but you know he's coming...that gives it a huge fear factor. Together with some first class acting from all of the cast, this film has been talked about for many years and will still be a topic of conversation for many years to come. Definatly one for the collection.

This may be an relatively 'old film' now but, my God, is it SCARY!
There's no bells and whistles when it comes to cinematic technology in this film but that doesn't even enter your head becuase your so engrossed.
It's based around a true story of a woman in the States that is frequently visited and raped by and invisible entity. This Incubus (correct name for the phenomenon) would manifest at any time of the day or night and carry out a brutal sexual attack on this woman.
After convincing the paraphsycology dept of the local university, they finally decide to create a replica of her apartment in their studios and ask her to live in it.
Whilst she is there, they monitor her progress with a view to capturing this entity by spraying liquid nitrogen on it.
This is the type of film that will pop into your head just before you go to bed at night and scare the livig daylights out of you!!
A Must!

Another true story of dubious authenticity, The Entity concerns a libidinous invisible presence. This unseen force repeatedly rapes poor Barbara Hershey, who can't get anyone to believe her stories of sexual assault. Frankly, she doesn't believe them herself until she undergoes therapy conducted by experts in both psychology and the supernatural. The entity, a great, hairy blob, is ultimately tricked into materializing, an act of revelation that proves to be its downfall. Adapted by Frank de Felitta from his own novel, The Entity is a classic horror of the '80s and a must for the collectors of the world..

Falls short of potential!
Some regard this as a classic, some as an cinematic abortion. Personally, I'm for each opinion in equal measure. Read more

The Entity comes alive.
Brilliant film, very scary. Doubtful it's true story but I do believe in spirit world. If you want to get REALLY fright, this is the ONE.

Scant real information
Considering when it was made this is good scary stuff, but when you know that it's based on a true story it falls apart somewhat. Read more
