The Entity

In 1982, The Entity unspools a tale of spectral terror as a beleaguered single mother endures a series of violent nocturnal assaults by an invisible entity, leaving her psychiatrist skeptical and her beleaguered soul adrift between the rational and the occult. Director Peter Medak crafts a claustrophobic atmosphere around Mary Hartigan’s harrowing ordeal, blurring the lines between psychic turmoil and spectral menace. The film’s relentless tension and visceral horror underscore the precarious edge where reality and madness intersect.
