M MALIK 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.

GL84 Attempting to uncover a grisly mystery, a documentary team searching for the cause of a mass grave in Russia finds the connection to an abandoned psychiatric institute and tries to get away before the inhabitants point out the same fate.This is a really enjoyable and quite chilling ghost story that has a lot of good points about it. The setting in the abandoned factory gives off an incredibly tense and eerie feeling which works rather well as a setting for such films by generally looking exactly like the type of place where bad things can happen quite easily and certainly looks like the kind of place that would be wholly unnerving when encountered in real life as the cold, lifeless cement and steel structures, endless dimly-or-barely lit corridors and deathly silence that surrounds the entire location is endlessly terrifying before the ghostly actions even start. those are certainly enjoyable enough in their own right as they continually come at such intervals that it never feels like it's dragging on or even all that boring as it stays on course sure enough through the story. Several of these are pretty terrifying as well, with standout encounters in the shock-treatment chamber and into the sleeping chambers which are the biggest ones here but there's enough encounters and interactions so that it's not all that slow-going at all and even feels quite exciting at times. However, it does have a couple of big flaws in that it really doesn't do a lot to help get the most out of it's scares by generally making everything so hard and nearly impossible to see. From shifting camera angles to rapid quick-cut editing and the utterly irritating feature of shooting through a video camera which in-effect resembles the found-footage type of films, there's an endless array about it that really serves to irritate and aggravate about this one which is certainly not the desired effect here when it simply cannot make what goes on that discernible. Without any real sort of violence in here, there's very little in that department to lure anyone in and the film's convoluted storyline in the second half hardly makes any sense at all by throwing in several countless plot-twists that aren't that clever. These drag the film down but it's still good enough when it counts.Rated R: Graphic Language and Violence.

mgs888 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.

miffymad Saw this at the LIFF where it deservedly won Best Horror. The acting is really strong. Will be watching Charlotte Riley's future with interest. I hear she has already landed a lead female starring role opposite Tom Cruise. I feel the director has given a masterclass in making a low budget film look anything but. I enjoyed the psychological horror as am not a great fan of gore. Not as many jumps as the Paranormal Activity series. This stuck with me for some time afterwards like The Blair Witch Project did and provoked me to scurry off to google to research into the historical background given as fact in the film and whether it was based on stuff that really happened in The Cold War. For me this adds to the scare factor. The sound was impressively frightening and in the peaks of the film I had my hands over my ears and squinting through my eyes. Win for me.
