Entity

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

I am not usually a fan of modern horror films. Too much gore and not enough story. However, 'Entity' is a little more thoughtful than your average 'found footage' thriller. Nicely paced and shot, the film draws you in with good plot and good acting. I was particularly impressed with Branco Tomovic, who is very believable in his role as 'Yuri Levkov'. And from what I understand, 'Entity' was made on a very small budget, which is surprising considering the very professional look & feel of the film.

This is Director Steve Stone's first feature film & I think he is definitely one to watch for the future.

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

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.

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.
