Entity (2012)

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.

seriously what is happening these days with films in general not only horror films are getting worse as the experience of cinema is gone 80s & 90s will be missed.directed by Steve Stone this British film called entity looks like paranormal activity meets scary movie all the characters in this film get spooked too quickly and those ha he and oh sounds on repeat mode may i ask why is that this was such a great concept but the director tried to blend it with other old ideas and result is in front of us.the women are doing good acting here men are cowards plus this random naked ghost walks around every corner with hairstyle taken from the joker of batman was hilarious this found footage genre needs to fade away i mean look at Sam Raimi films like evil dead old but good stuff.the story is about a TV show crew goes to the Serbian forest to investigate the close case of 1998 incident about the 34 dead people when they go deep in the forest they start to feel the danger around them.it was full on suspense till the climax no doubt about camera work was at its finest the thing that bothers the viewers is the laugh out loud moments & goofs in the most serious situations it kill the attention span immediately one more thing i have to mention is this director shoots some scenes like Christopher Nolan.overall Entity 2012 got all the elements to be a good movie but it could have been more better if it the runtime was edited it is a boring film simply for critics only.my rating is 3/10.

Nicely done, atmospheric as all get out, and scary instead of gory which was a pleasant change. Acting was pretty top notch with a fairly small cast. Would recommend and watch again. Just happened upon this one via Hulu and glad I bookmarked it to watch later. For a first time directorial effort I think this stands out as one the better I have seen and I have been to my share of film festivals. Really look forward to seeing future endeavors by all involved. Don't let the found footage tags scare you off it really is not over used and what is has been incorporated well into the storyline, not just used as a gimmick. Not sure why this had to have "Russian" setting as it really did not add anything to the story and just seemed to be the only misstep.

This is a gripping first feature from UK director Steve Stone. I generally like independent UK films, and I am pleased to say I was not disappointed. The film has excellent pacing and the cast make the most of the eerie derelict Yorkshire locations that double very effectively for an abandoned Cold War soviet installation.I don't know why some reviewers refer to this as a "found footage" movie because it simply is not that. There are some scenes from the viewpoint of the TV cameraman but that does not make it a found footage movie.An original story with strong performances from all the principal cast. Well worth watching.
