The Entity
Directed by Sidney J. Furie2h 5m1982
A single mom is raped by an invisible force. Her psychiatrist believes the experience stems from childhood trauma, while she knows something supernatural is at play.
Our read: The Entity (1982) reads as a heavy, steady, surreal horror entry — extreme in intensity, intimate in scope, cold in temperature, nihilistic in outlook.
Heavy, steady, extreme horror, surreal in texture. Nihilistic, intimate, cold.
