The narrative feels inconsistent when dealing with a disturbing subject matter. This film presents Carla Moran’s story, which claims she suffered torment and sexual abuse at the hands of an unseen demonic force. Whether the events were fabricated for dramatic effect or have some basis in reality, *The Entity* doesn't surpass mediocrity because of its amateurish direction and a weak screenplay. The score by Charles Bernstein is jarring and unpleasant. However, it’s not entirely without merit; there are moments that genuinely inspire dread, and much of the suspense comes from Barbara Hershey’s convincing portrayal of Carla. Films exploring this kind of premise often invite ridicule or apprehension, so to engage an audience with such a topic, you need a protagonist who feels authentic—and Hershey achieves this despite her character lacking depth. The film lacks a sense of urgency or emotional exploration beyond a few hurried scenes; it's as if Carla reports being attacked by a demon and her doctor simply accepts it at face value. Whether one subscribes to beliefs about the paranormal is unimportant, but the fact that *The Entity* isn’t frightening is regrettable—it represents a lost chance to not only frighten viewers, but also stimulate thoughtful discussion. 4/10
