60 of 137 · most liked firstBooks to Films 📚=🎞️ The Entity (1978) by Frank De Felitta was adapted to film in 1982. A close adaptation as the author penned the screenplay, it is based on a real case. As it pertains to parapsychology & a manifestation the film goes in a more scifi direction than the book. 👤😱👹 #filmsky #booksky

neutral · AI labelView post →With all the talk of “the Entity” you might be wondering if the new MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE is a sequel to the 1982 Barbara Hershey movie. And you’d be correct.
neutral · AI labelView post →We're a little past August 29, 1997 when Skynet became sentient, but this sounds like its not going to end well either. Probably more like The Entity in that last "Mission Impossible" movie...

neutral · AI labelView post →For the rest of October I'm watching and writing about a horror movie I've never seen each week. Today: THE ENTITY, which is unsettling in several different ways. (Yes, I'm taking suggestions for future entries):
neutral · AI labelView post →like i should have privacy in my home and i should be able to simply watch a movie without The Entity knowing and adjusting its opinion of me accordingly
neutral · AI labelView post →More ghosts of the past; in the 80's, Scottish Television's idea of a Christmas Day movie was Sidney J Furie's The Entity, the supposedly true story of a woman abused by a poltergeist. Why STV selected this film for festive viewing is probably the bigger mystery. film-authority.com/2022/03/21/t...
neutral · AI labelView post →Share a SCARY movie title that begins with the letter “E” 🎥 E is for… ‘The Entity’ (1982) 🖤
neutral · AI labelView post →In the inevitable Mission Impossible trailer, the knife that Ethan is looking at is the same knife that fell onto the terminal in the first movie. The analyst that discovered the knife was transferred to Alaska and will likely appear in the next movie due to the location of The Entity.
neutral · AI labelView post →#NowWatching 'The Entity'. 1982 (Sidney J. Furie) Felt like a watch of this classic after all the "authentic" facts that a random YouTube nobody (*an entirely AI generated account) fabricated because it must be 'true'.😉😂🤣 As far as the film goes - it is a highly effective work & frightening!
positive · AI labelView post →The first R-rated movie I remember seeing was The Entity, when I was like 6, which is, looking back, pretty messed up, Mom and Dad! (I say with amusement!) I was all in on Freddy and Jason by the time I was 11 or 12. I saw so many R movies as a kid, I could never name them all.
neutral · AI labelView post →My idea of trying to relax; “Hey babe, do you wanna watch that movie where Barbara Hershey gets SAed by a ghost?” Anyway, currently watching “The Entity”

neutral · AI labelView post →I hadn't heard of THE ENTITY (1982) until I was browsing Criterion last night to find a movie to watch for spooky season. Sometimes the unknowns turn into interesting and good surprises. Barbara Hershey is great. The tension is palpable. It's worth a watch. (Warning: depictions of sexual assault) 📽️
positive · AI labelView post →For some reason I couldn't leave a comment on this on the site, but I was curious if you'd ever seen Peter Tscherkassky's avant-garde short "Outer Space," in which the movie "The Entity" itself becomes a kind of assault. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxQ3...
neutral · AI labelView post →622/—‘The Entity’ This film goes right for the throat and will knock the wind out of you. Hershey is a struggling single mom who, out of the blue, gets repeatedly attacked in her home by an ‘entity’ (the scenes are brutal). Strangest of all, it’s based on a true story #Horror365Challenge #MutantFam
positive · AI labelView post →you couldn't make Blazing Saddles these days, due to the arrival of the Entity making thinking about any aspect of the movie liable to invite Its Attention
neutral · AI labelView post →#Filmsky #Moviechallenge First watch of The Entity, starring Ron Silver. Basic, yet horrifying, account of apparently documented real events. Solid horror film that youngsters seem to get upset about due to the graphic rape scenes. It’s the nature of the story, you can’t water it down 7/10
positive · AI labelView post →love that the Entity is like "hey, remember the premiere day of the first Mission: Impossible film. that was dope!" ❤️
neutral · AI labelView post →Scared the hell out of 11 year old me on a sleepover. The next day my friend decided that the movie The Entity would be just the ticket... that scar is deep
positive · AI labelView post →Here is what we know about The Entity. 1. It cannot be killed. 2. It cannot be captured on film. 3. It believes itself to be the “King“ of this “Hill.” 4. It can only be harmed by propane and propane accessorie.
neutral · AI labelView post →In the movie the billionaire class is represented by an artificial intelligence called The Entity. The controversy is about whether or not The Entity can be used for good or must be destroyed. Our man Ethan Hunt knows.
neutral · AI labelView post →In 1983, Atari was making a tie-in game for the horror movie The Entity, based on the story of a woman who claimed to be r*ped by a malicious spirit. The game would have had players use the paddles to push the ghost off of them www.atariprotos.com/2600/softwar...

I was watching them around 5 years old. After The Entity I started at the ceiling all night and at times could have sworn I saw electricity arcing. I was dumbfounded by Sybil and how someone could do that to their child had some weird nightmares from that for sure.

neutral · AI labelView post →072. THE ENTITY [1982] Dir. Sidney J. Furie A ghost film that, somehow yet understandably, escapes conversations nowadays. It's so disturbing in its accuracy, even when using the uncanny to unravel what is a very real scenario. Fantastic turn here from Barbara Hershey.
positive · AI labelView post →If you've never seen the 1982 horror film The Entity, I suggest you do. The soundtrack leaves marks that don't heal. www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7W2... #scriptsky #horrorsky #horror #filmsky
positive · AI labelView post →Always here for a mirror shot. Now watching Sidney J. Furie's The Entity on The Criterion Channel. I started during the weekend, but the film was making me so antsy, I had to stop. Nothing scares me like a monster I can't see. Leigh Whannell's The Invisible Man: also effective on this score.
positive · AI labelView post →Been watching lots of horror movies on Criterion this month and I don't know why I haven't heard of The Entity with Barbara Hershey before it showed up in the Horror FX collection. This is an incredible film with some incredible modern day resonance.

neutral · AI labelView post →If it doesn't crash the economy its going to hold us all as nuclear hostages like The Entity in the last "Mission Impossible" movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →I know this dates me quite a bit but doesn't have TV commercials for horror movies haunting their memories? THE ENTITY seemed like it must be the scariest thing ever when I saw this as a kid. And there's nothing in this trailer! youtu.be/Ux21JlskRTY?...
positive · AI labelView post →Ebert pick: THE ENTITY (1983) -wow are there are a lot of dutch angles in these clips -Roger’s got a feminist read on the movie, good man -Siskel giving a trigger warning to potential VHS renters -Gene hates violence, and that’s limiting his enjoyment

neutral · AI labelView post →65. The Entity (1982, first time) this movie is wild.
positive · AI labelView post →Mission Impossible 8, which may have the worst screenplay of the 21st century. I honestly thought the opening was a trailer, not the real film. The Entity? Convoluted beyond belief. *Two* hackneyed bomb sequences. And the redeeming action sequence is biplanes? They should have had Keaton direct it.
neutral · AI labelView post →My entire morning was consumed by this film and still the first thing I thought of was Barbara Hershey’s The Entity
neutral · AI labelView post →Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning - fantastic movie, very hard to watch Angela Bassett as POTUS without imagining Trump in her stead. "Folks, we love the Entity, we all love the Entity very much. It's given us a great deal, bought lots of TRUMPCOIN, so we're gonna do whatever it wants, folks."
neutral · AI labelView post →The Entity Haunting case was later documented in a book by Frank Perroni and adapted into a film The Entity (1982) starring Barbara Hershey as Doris Bither. The movie and book recount the terrifying events experienced by Bither and her family. Have you guys seen it? Its creepy!
