Ok.. so I got a request for Paranormal Entity, and I have already seen the film and talked about it on an old blog, so i will just post what I wrote over there over here... got it?

 

Paranormal Entity PosterParanormal Entity is the most recent addition in an ever-evolving list of movies (if you would call them that) whose main goal is to as closely emulate other, more successful films, without being sued. They are currently being called "Mockbusters." For example: Transformers and its rip-off Transmorphers PosterTransmorphers, or Land of the Lost compared to The Land That Time Forgot. As I am sure you have already figured out, Paranormal Entity tries its hardest to trick unsuspecting viewers into believing they are watching last year's hit Paranormal Activity. Well, all I can say is don't fall for it. This film, shot completely with handheld cameras, makes no sense and never takes advantage of its chosen style, utilized better in films like The Blair Witch Project, and yes, Paranormal Activity. Unless your interested in a hackneyed horror movie with bizarre incestuous undertones, I suggest you watch something... anything else.
