Product Description
Twenty-three year old, Thomas Finley was arrested for the murder of his nineteen-year old sister, Samantha, as well as the murder of fifty-two year old, Edgar Lauren, a Professor and paranormal investigator. In the early morning hours, Police were called to the scene by Thomas Finley himself. He was found inside with his sister s body cradled in his arms. After questioning, Thomas was taken into custody. In his police statement, Thomas claimed that the victims were attacked by a demonic entity of unknown origin. Days later, he committed suicide. It is the opinion of those closely related to the family, that this video found at the scene be shown to the public as a final testament to what actually happened inside the Finley home in those final days.

I was intrigued to watch PARANORMAL ENTITY after I read an article about so-called Mockbusters, which are incredibly low budget films made for pennies and marketed in exactly the same way as the Blockbuster that it's based on. As I'd loved the low budget PARANORMAL ACTIVITY, I thought I'd give the mockbuster version a try.
The film really delivers more of a powerful punch than ACTIVITY.. the storyline is much tighter and the acting is believable.. most notably the relationship between our protagonist and his sister is well acted. What makes ENTITY so frightening is the fact that the happenings occur at any time of day, and is well executed. For me one of the most tense scenes is where the lead is alone in the house, setting traps using bells and fishing wire- the viewer will be on the edge of his seat for most of this film!
What really sets ENTITY apart from its older brother PARANORMAL ACTIVITY is the fact that the sister is being sexually attacked by the unseen force in the house, which is more than reminiscent of 1982's THE ENTITY, starring Barbara Hershey as the tormented victim- however in PARANORMAL ENTITY the scenes are much more disturbing.
This film is a must for anyone interested in the horror genre.. I'm sure that some critics who loved PARANORMAL ACTIVITY will find this film a waste of time- after all, this theme has been exhausted in recent years. But what sets this mockbuster apart from the rest is that it tackles the story with its own ferocious spirit, setting it, in my books, higher in the pecking order than PARANORMAL ACTIVITY.
I'd love to hear what other viewers think.

Initially I thought Paranormal Entity would be a cheap, uninspired cash-in on the hugely successful recent horror phenomenon, Paranormal Activity. I've really been there with horror; it's my genre, my obsession. There are the obvious classics, but sometimes I just enjoy snuggling down with a truly awful one. Paranormal Entity had all the signs of a cheap, rubbish horror: Direct to DVD, attempting to clone a successful mainstream movie, unknown actors, bad production values, etc.
What is so surprising about Paranormal Entity is that it really makes you believe that some direct to DVD horror can actually be better than some of stuff that poses and flashes around mainstream cinemas. It's completely popped up out of nowhere and put Paranormal Activity to shame.
The brief plot follows along similar lines. But this time, as opposed to a couple, a family of three have been tormented by a 'negative presence' within their home, so have therefore set up cameras in various places to try and capture whatever happens at night on film.
For a super low-budget movie, the acting is fantastic. There's real chemistry on-screen between the three characters (in contrast to the occasional awkwardness between the couple in Paranormal Activity), which was nice to feel and helps us to believe that we're genuinely watching a family home-movie.
Another thing I admired about Paranormal Entity was that it was just so pumped full with very innovative ideas. Obviously presented as 'found footage', there are absolutely no credits, but the filmmakers have to be praised for really making something out of nothing at all. The shocks are perfectly timed and some of the extensive one take shots are assured to have you in awe. The very end is so utterly frightening and disturbing I'll be surprised if even the most hard-core horror fans don't get nightmares. Paranormal Activity had three endings; this has one, and it's scarier than all three others put together.
In conclusion, anybody who turns their nose up at this, passing it by as a cheap cash-in on Paranormal Activity should be ashamed. Not only does it stand boldly as one of the best in the 'found footage' genre, but ranks as one of the most surprising and scary horror films of the year. I demand you give this a chance. Paranormal Entity is a real discovery and will remain proudly in my DVD collection, though it did have coaster potential.

If you are in to the paranormal, believe in it or have an open mind then this film will be pretty creepy to watch alone. I loved it, I thought it was much better than Paranormal Activity. Good acting and storyline. One of those you wouldn't mind seeing a second or third time, which is always a bonus in my book.

Paranormal Entity
What true harcore fans of Paranormal Activity don't realise that not all Mockbusters copy their original cinema franchises. Paranormal Entity is an example of this case. Read more

not bad for a cheap budget
This isn't quite as good as paranormal activity and is a bit slow but there are quite a few jumpy bits and it certainly gets you wondering.
