In 1998, thirty four unidentified bodies were found in shallow graves in a remote Siberian forest. After subsequent investigations, no official explanation by the Russian authorities was ever offered about the circumstances of the deaths.

Excellent, Without a doubt!!
When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
This is "Entity" with the backwards "N" so not to be confused by other films with the same name. In this film there are no women sexually abused by a ghost. Don't blame me, I didn't write it.This film takes place in remote Sadovich, Siberia, Russia. We get a glimpse of some 1983 footage of a gaunt nude man in a cell with odd things going on, including levitation. We quickly come to the present where a camera crew is going to the same area. They were contacted by Yuri (Branko Tomovic) who claims 34 people were found in a shallow grave in a remote glade. With the help of Ruth (Dervla Kirwan) a psychic, he hopes to find out what happened as the authorities will not say. A camera crew comes along. Kate (Charlotte Riley) is the reporter/director who reminded me of Sandra Bullock. Charlotte Riley is a rising star. Matt (Rupert Hill) is the camera man and David (Oliver Jackson) is the token guy who needs to grow a set. Someone has to be the first to die.Ruth is the real deal. Eleven minutes into the film you have ghosts, no waiting. The full plot, i.e. the function of the building they explore for most of the movie, is explained half way through. The movie is a mixture of found footage and regular filming with the found footage aspect not being too bad except for a poorly shot night scene.The feature starts to get numb as we see much of the same stuff, then when Kate reviews the film...BAM! A nice little twist and surprise ending that made the numb worth while. Definitely worth a view for found footage fans.Parental Guide: F-bomb, male nudity, no sex.
Had all the right, if a bit stereotypical, pieces for a fun modern horror movie; Russia, government experimentation, video footage glitching out, psychics and psychic testing. all of it came together somewhat ably in the film, detailing a pack of ghost hunters following a lead from a Russian author regarding a place where 34 unidentified corpses were discovered and never identified in the 1980s. Despite that setup, it quickly leads into a gargantuan industrial facility where we quickly learn the 34 unidentified corpses were part of a larger group being held there. all of it is executed somewhat ably, there's a very mild little twist which doesn't particularly add or take away from the overall story, and it has a handful of decent jumpscares and unusual odd moments.unfortunately, the film just doesn't manage to rise beyond "performed ably". There was no significant problem with the acting or the story, but there was also very little done with it. Everything was very straight-forward, and the mystery of the place was very quickly explained, leaving nothing for us to savor or wonder about, and no reason to care about much in the film.this is the kind of quickly forgettable film that you only happen to remember when coming across it again in the horror movie catalogue
In 1998, thirty four unidentified bodies were found in shallow graves in a remote Siberian forest. After subsequent investigations, no official explanation by the Russian authorities was ever offered about the circumstances of the deaths.The movie is presented as a "faux documentary", but it is not strictly found footage and never pretends to be. In fact, it becomes less so as it continues, much to the audience's relief (as most horror fans by now seem to be sick of the whole thing).There is some nice coloration, good suspense, and a genuinely eerie nature to this story. And more horror films really ought to be set in Siberia (even if this was actually filmed in North Yorkshire). Reviews are mixed, as they should be. As much as the film may be "predictable" or "late to the POV party", it does have something about it (production value?) that helps it stand out, maybe just a little.
I don't mind the "lost camera footage" or movies where they are filming as they go, but this one wasn't one of the better ones. The first almost half of the movie was pretty good, slow moving to build suspense and get to know the characters some. Good outside shots, creepy. Then when they get inside and things start happening, that's when it starts to go down hill. The footage they are filming, and thus we are seeing their experiences thru, is really fuzzy, shaky, and almost unwatchable. You don't really see anything, just a bunch of screaming and falling down. The shots of the evil spirit, or whatever you want to call it, are horrible and the special effects on it are ridiculous, wouldn't scare a small child. The story is the same as every other movie where they go into an old abandoned sanitarium/warehouse/prison. Things start to happen, someone goes missing, screams coming from somewhere within the building, they can't find their way out etc. The ending was a little different, but not enough to bother recommending this to anyone. Too bad because I thought it could have been better. The acting was good, the location was creepy, just the same old same old with the story.
