Paranormal Entity

Paranormal Entity is a found footage horror film that follows the story of Samantha Finley, a young woman who lives with her mother and brother. It is believed that Samantha is being tormented by a malevolent spirit, and her family sets up cameras around the house to document the events leading up to her disappearance.

The movie begins with Samantha's brother, Thomas, explaining that they have been experiencing strange occurrences in the house. These include doors opening and closing on their own and objects moving without explanation. Thomas sets up cameras around the house to capture any evidence of paranormal activity.

As the days go by, the activity in the house intensifies, and Samantha becomes more and more agitated. The family also discovers that the house was built on a burial ground, which may be the reason for the paranormal activity.

As the family reviews the footage, they discover that the spirit is becoming more aggressive towards Samantha, and they try to find a way to stop it. Samantha's mother contacts a psychic who tries to help, but the spirit becomes even more violent.

The movie is filled with jump scares and eerie moments, as the family's fear and desperation grow. The cinematography is shaky and raw, creating a sense of realism that draws the audience in. The lack of background music also adds to the eerie atmosphere.

The performances by the cast are convincing, particularly Erin Marie Hogan as Samantha Finley. She portrays the character's fear and confusion in a realistic manner. The supporting cast also delivers solid performances, with Fia Perera as Samantha's mother and Norman Saleet as the psychic.

Shane Van Dyke, who also wrote and directed the movie, does an excellent job of building tension throughout the film. The pacing is slow at first, but as the paranormal activity increases, the tension builds steadily. The use of night vision cameras and cameras placed in strategic locations also adds to the sense of unease.

One of the most notable aspects of Paranormal Entity is the similarities it shares with Paranormal Activity, which was released a year earlier. Both movies are found footage films that follow a family experiencing paranormal activity. However, Paranormal Entity has a more intense and graphic ending that separates it from its predecessor.

Overall, Paranormal Entity is an entertaining and suspenseful horror movie that delivers on its promise of scares. While it may not break new ground in the found footage genre, it is still an enjoyable watch for fans of the genre.
