I've never heard of THE ENTITY, being as it might this film is about two years older than I am, but one day at work one of my friends told me about this film, and insisted that I try and find it, and I did eventually, before watching it I thought the concept of a woman being raped by ghost was a little out there, and then of course finding out it is based on a true story, well that has to be seen to be believed.
The film itself turned out to be very well crafted, the cast played their roles very strong and convincingly, and Sidney J. Furie showed very creative direction, and featured great special effects from the late Stan Winston, but one thing that almost put me off about the film, was the last third act when it introduces a bunch of parapsychologist that come up with an idea on how to contain or destroy the entity, this film being based on a true story although fictionalized, got a little outrages at this point and kind of didn't really have that effect of a true story anymore, because no one would believe that any person on earth ever tried to freeze a ghost or an entity, I even did some research on the story that revealed the attacks on Carla Moran has stopped after moving further and further from her old house.
Overall, being an old film it was refreshing to have been able to watch something that wasn't overblown with today's CG effects, although special effects minimal, and its strength mainly comes from the strong performances of its cast.
